Here's the issue.
When turning the wheel to port..she barley turns then is stopped cold.
Have full motion to starboard.
A few weeks ago, I was working on the manifold and riser, a wrench slipped off and flew back there..I didn't find it in my bilge nor at the back of the motor anywhere. I assumed it found its way under the deck..UNTIL I launched yesterday and could only make right turns....
I searched again this am, thinking it had gotten way back where the steering lever connects to the OD at the transom...stuck my fingers in there and all I got was a handfull of grease...Used a coat hanger to fish for it, zippo on that too..
So is there anyplace else this **###&&&@@@@ thing could have gone???
There doesn't seem to be a way for it to have gone any further in the sterring rod area, correct?
Any help is as always appreciated..Have 2 days left of vacation!
