Have tight steering in my 89 OMC Cobra. Have greased the outdrive and the zerk on the steering rod. Power Steering fluid is fine. Belt is fine.<br /><br />Did a search in this forum and found 2 posts where I believe it's the cable/corrosion. Last year Don S posted 2 times on how do do this and even posted a picture of where this is on the boat. Very nice.<br /><br />Here is my dumb question: Once I get the steering cable out of the aluminium tube, how do I clean the tube? With a brush, rag? screwdriver? <br /><br />Then what grease/lube to use? Same grease I use for my wheel bearings, or the kind of grease I use for my garage door opener track, WD40? <br /><br />Then to get the cable back through the tube...does it just push back through or do I need to fish it through?<br /><br />This forum (and DonS and Bondo's posts) are incredible. Maybe someday I'll even be able to add value by posting answers instead of just asking questions!
