I have a 1992 Sun Spa toon with 70 hp Mercury.

Hit underwater object and the steering completly locked. (no damage to motor or prop). Got back to dock and on lift found maybe a bent rod. Forced by had the motor to move to the right and when moving back to the left it stuck about half way.

I think I need to replace the rod:confused:or is the rod the end of the cable and I have to replace the entire cable?

Trying to figure out how you bent the steering rod by hitting a underwater object :confused:
No matter i guess :rolleyes:
Not sure about all but all the ones i've come across the rod is part of the steering cable-

Re: steering problems

Did you ever find a solution to your problem? Yesterday, after three years and I don't know how many trips, I let a tow rope get entangled in my prop. Motor fine, steering locked. I can't get back out to work on it for a couple of days....any help?
