[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 464616, member: 3278"] [size=5]The solution is to lubricate on a basis that happens more often than the cable sticks. Pretty simple. I know this is not what you wanted to hear. On the other side there is the fact that once the tilt/steering tube has rusted and seized the cable it has a tendency to happen a bit faster each successive time. Hydraulic steering is a bit more robust as far as rust goes but it also limits the ability to lubricate the tilt tube bushings. Bore brushes are available to "hone" out the rust. They are cheap and operated easily on a battery drill. A good marine grease like BRPs "Triple Guard" is one of the best preventatives. Merc has a good one as well. [/size] [/QUOTE]
