Hi guys, just got a new to me boat and the motor fires right up and purrs, however it does not turn very easily. I have disconnected the steering and the problem is in the motor itself unfortunately. I have tried heating the housing around the kingpin and adding grease and while that has improved the situation it is still way to tight. I am sure I am going to have to repair the kingpin and have searched the forums on how to do this but I have questions about how to disassemble. Do I have to pull the power head,lower unit, transom bracket? Does the pin drive up or drive down? Do I have to pull the motor off the transom? Thanks, CC
