    Default 2005 Mercury 50hp 2 Stroke Steering Connector Rod Question.

    Should the Ball Swivel ( Heim Joint ) on the 2005 Mercury 50hp 2 Stroke Steering Connector Rod move free or be hard to move.

    What kind of lube should be used oon the Steering cable ram and tube?

    Thanks in advance

    1. Yes
    2. 2-4-C sparingly. The cable itself is lubed with a light oil. Grease will jam it up.

    hope it helps
