Sound seems to be coming from the end steering arm where it comes out of the outboards “through” tube. Ideas to fix? Grease hasn’t helped.

Remove the cable from the motor, clean the tube, grease and reassemble. They do get gummed up over time.

chuck a gun cleaning brush up in the chordless drill to clean out the tube.
