Re: outboard engine steering problem/ frozen
Try tightening the two black nuts. Then try hold the starboard black nut and turn the ram flat. If that doesn't work, you need to get the engine off the transom - no way can you get enough of a swing with a hammer when mounted like that. Plan B is removing the tilt tube and cable as one assembly. Might be easier if you cut the exposed cable off with a hacksaw
