88 steering
Have no glove box on this 88, so there is no acess to the steering helm. I have looked at other v-20's and I guess I will have to install a 8 inch round inspection plate or a door. The cherry picker in the garage and is waiting patiently to swing that Yamaha to remove the cable from the tilt tube which is already loose and ready to come out.Looks easy enouph. Should be in the water soon.Thanks for your help.

I just fixed my overheat problem (missing washer, lowered water pump pressure). Now back to take the steering. Marina wants $488 to just pull the boat and unbolt motor and remove old steering rod and slap the new one in. Thats $288 laborer (2 x 144 per hr) and $10 per foot to pull it out for me. I came up with the idea of borrowing my friends engine hoist and doing it at the dock myself when hopefully nobodys looking. $500 lot a moollah for not that much work. We'll see what happens. The old rod seems to be a bit of a ***** to get out. I hammer it and it moves, but not much. Once i get a better angle of attack when I move the engine, Im sure I can bang the hell out of it and get it to slide through. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Spray with PB Blaster a few times while you wait to get ready, also a propane torch will help!! When you get it in the tube use a old 1/2 extension to drive it the rest of the way out.

Hello folks,I'm new here just picked up a 77' cuddy with a nice running 150 Yamaha 2.5 Max. And found a 76' v20 fish Hull down the road for next to nothin' . thinking of fishing one while rebuilding the other and then switching the hulls ....I'm a glutton for punishment I guess Anyhow the steering.g cable in the cruddy was siezed and is the 18' teleflex I was able to get it out without lifting the outboard but will probably have to loose the motor for the install for my 77'

so i am in the process of replacing my steering too due to it being very stiff. I spoke with a few people and one of them said that if i just grease the cable down near the engine i would be good to go. Is this just a temp fix and am i better off just replacing the whole cable and if so what size cable is needed for a 1989 v20? Summercooler1 i am out of atlantic highlands too. You have a slip there?
