Does the cable move in and out with the turning of the wheel ?

what you should do next is
1st pump grease into the fitting on the shaft[then try to move the motor] still dont move 2nd get out the tourch and heat the shaft and as your heating it rock the motor left and right until it breaks loose, it might take some time and also shoot some penertrating oil on the top of the shaft, what i did was install another grease fitting on the top cause no grease would ever come out from the top bot you have to be careful because when i turned the motor it hit the fitting but i had a flush mount fitting that i installed and everything worked out+

I pumped the grease in and tried to move it with no success yesterday. I also put some penetrating oil on the top and hope it works. I am about to go check on it again. I think the 2nd grease fitting is a great idea. I will try the heat idea also.
Do you think a benzomatic type of plumbers torch is hot enough, or is oxyacetelyne needed? I'll let you know how it all works out. Thanks Carl

Normally it's the tilt tube that causes the trouble when the motor won't turn by way of the steering.
Did you disconnect the arm from the steering that goes to the motor yoke (or whatever it's called)?

tsubaki - you just hit the nail on the head. That is one thing I did not do yesterday and the first thing today. I disconnected the steering arm from the yoke or tiller or whatever it is called and the motor turned smoothly. The problem is in the tilt tube.
The steering arm will not budge from within the tilt tube. I again applied grease in the fitting but not much more. I did get the waterpump replaced, the lower unit back on the motor (with a little help from my wife) and fired her up and sent the blue fogging oil smoke throughout the neighborhood. How do I go about fixing a stuck steering arm in the tilt tube?? Thanks Carl
