Steering Cable Question

[boatrookie]

I have an 84 V20 CC w/ a Johnson 225 and I took it out yesterday for the first time after buying it a couple of months ago and it was a blast. I noticed that the steering is a bit stiff. Is there any possible way to lube the cable because I do not see any grease fittings? I do not want to mess up the part at the console so I want to figure out what to do with the actual cable and really do not want to have to replace it. Your thoughts?
