I inherited an old (1975) boat and motor (75 HP Evinrude). Over the last 2 years the steering has become so stiff that it is now not safe. The unit is a Teleflex SH5023 single helm. I removed the helm and cable (major effort) and disassembled the helm (despite the notice on the helm not to do so). I thought that I would then be able to pull the cable out of the sleeve, clean and lubricate, and reassemble. However, the cable will not pull through the sleeve (at least not with about 100 lb pull).<br />My question is:<br />-should it come out of the sleeve?<br />-is it possible to buy just a replacement sleeve/cable?<br />-where?<br /><br />This boat does not justify a big expense.<br /><br />I would really appreciate any comments/help.
