[QUOTE="Poormans Boatright, post: 270604, member: 5870"] Before you go to install the steering cable into the tube, take and clean the tube out real good, use some degreaser a rag or some emery cloth. Remove any old grease or rust, as this is a problem area for steering cables. What happens is later on the old grease hardens up and freezes the steering cable in the tube (especially from non use for extended periods of time). Most people will try to force the wheel to turn and wind up strippping out the helm. If you don't have a grease fitting on the tube, manually grease the cable and inside of the tube with some quality marine grease, it will save you some $ & headache later on. If you do this you should have trouble free steering for a long time. [/QUOTE]
