[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 372092, member: 3278"] First off - JL8Jeff is on the right track. Pull your cable out of the steering tube on the engine and see if it is still stiff. If it is then pull it out of the helm, coil it up and head down to your nearest local dealer and I will bet he has one in stock for you. If it is free then get busy and clean the old grease and rust out of the steering tube, grease the inner and outer cable and re-install and go boating. A 12GA. cleaning brush works well on the end of an extension and driven by drill. Buy a spare. Both rotary and rack are close enough in performance that there is no clear advantage of one over another. [/QUOTE]
