Unable to turn motor

[Carl]

Hey Stuarbc - It's interesting that you mentioned that the hole in the splash well was not in alignment with the steering tube. Mine is the same way and I never did completely remove the steering cable and I did not want to enlarge the hole in the splash well. I wonder if this is a common problem - what year & type of wellcraft do you have? - Mine is a '78 cuddy v- 20
