Unable to turn motor

spray the crap out of it and hammer the thing home! clen the tube good and grease the crap out of it, in the fall remove the cable and clean well, clean and grease well and leave apart till spring, thats what i did after the first time and never had a issue again!!
If you really feel like fixing it good replace the tube with a new stainless one, I never under stood why they make them out of steel anyway??

Well I'd say that 99% of the time they fail is because they get neglected and people fail to grease them up as often as needed. My 1994 Johnson 150is so greased up it falls to either side when the motor is raised.
