I didn't take my boat out for about 3 weeks. Got it unloaded at the ramp started engine to warm up, and the steering was completely locked up. Reloaded boat, took home, removed the hyd. lines from the actuator and the steering cable pin. Outdrive still would not move. Removed the steering cable coupler and now the steering wheel would turn, however, outdrive still stuck. From what I've read from past postings this means that the cable stuck in the actuator? Overnight, the drive just released and now turns, but the actuator seems to have tons of slop in the valve area so I'm going to remove and replace. I see another pin that attached the actuator to the outdrive, what holds the actuator in place or is this it? Is it bolted to anything, it's very difficult to see behind the engine. Thanks!
