Re: mercury 115 steering tube

My old steering cable had frozen inside the tube due to rust.I removed the cable and cleaned inside the tube as best I could.the inside of tube is rusted with small pits.I installed a newer cable witch works but takes two hands to turn.I figured I should replace tube before I ruin a new steering cable.
