mine is the 89 dual console. The real pain in the a$$ was due to the fact that I had to cut the hole wider with all the lines going through it since I couldnt budge the steering cable with is binding like that.....so I had to cut and ugly hole and then shape it up a little once i could move the steering cable. I plan to cut a piece of starboard to cover up the large hole and make it look nice.

I had the same problem with my motor last two years and had to use a torch to loosen it up.
What type of grease are you guys using, and what seems to work best on the motor fittings? Also, how difficult is it to add another grease fitting to the top of the tube?

It seams this topic comes up every year at this time and every year there are numerous posts.
A quick search for steering will show the years of trials and errors. Anyway, I had the problem one year and installed a grease nut in place of one end nut, pump it full o grease at the end of the year and the next, no problem. Here's a link for the Davis Lube nut: http://www.boatersworld.com/product/358500676.htm Do a search for the nut, cause I think you can get it cheaper somewhere else, even direct from the manufacturer.
