[QUOTE="ober51, post: 103162, member: 1354"] As the title says, I absolutely love stick steering. I like sitting in the middle of the boat, and not having to move toward the back, and quickly hop up on the platform for some fishing. The motor starts on the first turn of the key, runs like a top. I did notice, however, that it is more difficult for me to make the boat turn portside. I know many of you havent used this setup, but what do you think it could be? I think that the steering cable is fine, it's brand new, but that maybe it needs some grease in the steering tub on the motor - the part that the cable goes through and screws into? Is this possible? It just seems very stiff, definitely too stiff for me. Is there a way to see if it can be greased? What kind of grease would I need to use. I think if lubed up the steering rod might slide in and out of the tube better. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
