Hey guys my merc 150 O/B has really stiff stearing. It's not hydralic (spelling) its the older cable stearing. It takes a greater effort to turn that my dads old Evinrude did with the similar cable drive. Any tips to loosen er up?

thanks

Re: Stiff Stearing

Take it loose at the motor to determine if its the motor or the cable. It may just be that you need to lube everything.

At any rate, figure it out and fix it. Broken steering on a 150 is usually harmful to your body.
