Hi,what kind of steering do you have? is it hydraulic or is it single slave? if it is hydraulic check for binding on the gimble bracket while it it tilt-trimmed,and if it is single slave make sure the end of slave spins freely,if not it can twist the wire cable inside and cause a bind and eventually break it. but on some motors the weight of the powerhead{especially a four stroke} is too top heavy when tilted and can be difficult to turn while tilted.
