Hammer, look at the bright side - at least it didn't break out on the water 10 miles out.

Yanked out the steering and install a new cable.

Thats normal for a unmaintained sterring!! Thats a good pic to tell you how not to do it!!

I hope you cleaned well and remed the tube out to get it clean!!

Re: CANT TURN !!
 

Nice dry caked on grease!!! I dunno the best way to clean that out . . . what I did before I installed hydraulic steering was to get a wire brush (Ace Hardware pipe cleaner). I broke off the loop handle end off the pipe cleaner and stuck it into a power drill. It worked pretty well.

There's so much crap in that hole you'll be at it for a while. Put an apron on your v20 before you get busy with the wire brush.

Been spaying and scooping as much out as possible. This might sound stupid, but what about using a snake drain ?? Can I damage something inside that I dont know that is there. Like the pressure washer fitting that I broke yesturday. >:(

MSB it's just a straight heavy duty steel tube. The big nut on the end has a rubber seal . . . but your's is shot anyway. It's just a rubber o-ring (you can buy at any hardware store). You might as well try everything you think will work. Attack from both sides!!
