Took my boat out Wednesday after greasing all the zerts on my outboard I was expecting smooth operation. However, after I launched I discovered my steering wheel would barely turn and mostly just in 1 direction. The motor wasn't turning at all with the wheel. I fished all day with my trolling motor. Still have not had the chance to examine anything...but does anyone have an idea what the problem could be? Or why it would suddenly not work like that? Cable? Any suggestions....I'm an outboard noob.
