My sis-in-law wants to use her boat that was left by her recently deceased husband. This is the info that she got to me. I'm driving out to her place on Monday to help and would really like some input. I won't have access to further info about the boat until Monday and won't be able to get back out till the following week so I'll print out all responses to check/try etc. Thanks- it's important for a myriad of personal-emotional reasons ie... his boat-his lake etc. I've done a history check as well<br /><br />"the steering is frozen. It has cables that connect to the motor. They are encased in a cover... 2 cables go into the left side of the motor if you are looking at it from the boat. There is a rod that connects on the other side <br />of the boat that is moved by the cables. It is frozen solid. You can only turn the steering wheel just so far. The guy at the marina smacked the rod with a hammer while i held on the steering wheel but it wouldn't budge. I <br />sprayed it with WD40, it didn't help. Johnson 75 horse Stinger, not sure on year, think it is probably 1978, same as the boat."
