86 Thunder Bolt Bass Boat with 86 90 horse Mercury.
So I rebuilt the transom on this boat and I am now putting the motor back on.
I am trying to get the nut that holds the steering cable shield up against the steering tube but I cant get it started.
It seems that there might be some sort of rubber gasket that is preventing it to reach the threads, but Im not sure, I cant see anything obstructing it.
When I hit it with a rubber mallet is seems to bounce back, I cant get the threads to go over the lip on the cable to start threading on.
Any suggestions? Im at my wits end.
Thanks
