[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 259836, member: 6937"] Wow, I cannot believe they didn't put grease fittings on these engines! Who was in charge of QC at the factory that day?! #-o Earlier today, I looked at a parts diagram, and sure enough, the only grease fitting shown was for the steering pivot. When I looked at the motor this morning, I did mention that he might be able to free it up a little by loosening the nuts on the tilt tube by about 1/2 a turn or so, and see if that helps. Seriously, it's so tight right now, I jokingly told him if it got any worse, he wouldn't need a tilt pin, because the motor would just about stay where you put it, by itself. I know there's nothing damaged causing this, because he's pretty careful with his engine, he doesn't jump sandbars or impact anything that would bend the tube. So, based on this info about the lack or zerk fittings.....I'll go over there and help him fiddle with it tomorrow, and see if we can adjust the nuts on the tilt tube, see if that fixes it. [/QUOTE]
