My early 80's 75hp Johnson steering is stiff. I have unhooked the steering cable and cable is free. however the motor is not. I have soaked the steering tube the best I can with penetrating oil for days. I have taken out the grease zerts to try and give the penetrating oil another point of entry. I have now replaced the zert and seem to get the bottom one to take grease well . the top is another story it still wont take grease. it has gotten significantly better but is still stiff. is there any kind of adjustment screw against the steering tube to limit the friction.
