[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 482509, member: 22613"] Start by unbolting the steering arm and see if the outboard rotates freely on the pivot. If it does, the cable is the problem, either where it passes through the outboard clamp bracket, or somewhere along the sheath. If it is only stuck inside the steering tube on the outboard and the cable is free, beat it out of there and use a rifle bore brush on a drill and some light oil to hone it out, then see how free it is. If the outboard pivot is seized, try applying some heat with a heat gun or propane torch and hit it with a grease gun. [/QUOTE]
