I didn't change the cable yet but I did disconnect it from the engine side and cleaned it and greased it it does slide very easy in the tube and the engine turns side to side disconnected fron the steering arm so now I'm thinking it the cable or helm the other issue I have is I don't want to remove the engine from the transom to install a new cable, I'm thinking if I can replace the cable without removing the engine
I just want it right I always had a issue with the steering Got it good once but that didn't last long

In the Keys the other day I was docking and a guy came over to ask what steering I had because he saw how effortless I was turning the motor back and forth spinning the boat in the tight basin.

The reply? NFB. Get yours sorted out and it will be great.

I think I replaced my cable without removing the motor...but I can't remember for sure...let me see if I can find the thread.
