Steering problem

[dchart55]

I have a 1997 Force 125HP Outboard Engine that I just bought with the 17' Starcraft boat. I cannot seem to turn the steering wheel and was told by the previous owner there is a locking device that is used to keep the engine straight while transporting it. For the life of me I cannot locate it and he cannot remember?

Does anyone know what he's talking about?

Thanks!

My transom saver limits the amount of rotation my outboard can make. Take the transom saver off and trim the motor down. It should move then.

my bayliner has a little knob under thesteering wheel on the post that you can tighten or loosen the steering wheel!
