Is there a tension adjustment on a 1976 Evinrude 9.9HP outboard that will ease up on the tension on the handle for steering? I only ask because my motor turns smooth but feels like it takes more push and pull to turn than it should. If you want to just nudge a bit it's like you have to bump it to turn and it wants to just hold that position. It's like the side tension adjustment on a trolling motor that is set a bit too tight.
Does this make sense? I see a small screw on the side in the area of the bearing but didn't want to mess with it because I don't know what it's for.
Thanks,
Larry
