I'm having a steering problem on my 1978 V178 Ranger with 79 115 Johnson. I have lubed the grease inserts. When I raise the engine, the arm on the right side is getting in a bind and is slipping up and down from the nut that holds it to the engine, The nut seems to be a backwards configuration in that turning to the left tightens. I have turned it where it seems tight with out over tight.
When the motor is down the wheel turns the motor with ease. When it is up, the motor will hardly turn. This old boat and motor is in excellent condition and I don't want to mess anything up. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
