Steering Troubles

[THEFERMANATOR]

Spray it down with a cleaner of some kind to get all of the old grease and build up off of the top of that pivot point, then use a good penetrating oil(I like PB BLASTER myself, available at most any auto parts store butaerocroll is another REALLY good one) to spray in there to try and loosen some of the rust. Then put a grease fitting in near the top like STEPLIFT20 said so you can force the grease directly through the bushing that is tight. This may not work, but at the price difference it should be worth trying.

what i did also
is put the motor all the way down
put a block of wood under the skeg crank up the trailer slowly so that when you are raising the trailer you pushing on the skeg to lift the engine enough to get alittle space in between the pivot point and soak pb blaster
you will need 2 people doing this 1 cranking and 1 looking sometimes you migh have to shake the motor to break away from the old great the motor should have about 1/8 inch play just enough to get the pb blaster in to do its job
but you will still have to put in a grease fitting to get grease to the top of the shft it will work my engine was like that and thats how i fixed it
i put in a knew steering tube this year wow its like knew but i did havr to fix the first problem first the turning shaft
