Yeah, there must be a housing, a sleeve and a rod..... No sleeve comes out of the housing with the rod. Just the rod comes out.

The sleeve is not part of the steering cable,the new cable does not come with a new sleeve. Time to get nasty with it and beat it with a hammer and punch.

Saw it off where the big nut is on he cable itself. Then get a long rod or punch and knock the rod out of the tube on the motor. Looking at the rear of the motor it should come out the right side.So stick your punch in the left side and let her have it.

What is the part that connects the motor to the transom ??? It has a nut on one end that tightens up against the transom mounts.

One end threads on the transom bracket,the other end with the hole connects to the swivel pin with the tie rod and nut. The sleeve stays inside the transom brackets.

The first time I had to work on the stearing rod was 5 or 6 years ago. Boat stearing was very hard when turning the stearing wheel.

The "pipe" on the engine that the stearing rod goes through was full of rust. This pipe & rod is not made to be greased.....ie.... no way to inject grease. I had to beat the stearing rod to get it out. Then I cleaned out as much rust as I could get out. I greased it up really good and put it back together. This worked good for several years until the stearing rod got bent from hitting too many logs going too fast.

ok, im getting a better understanding of this. Thanks for all the help guys. I'll take some pics this evening and show ya'll whats happening if i cant get it.


One other question. Can i take and knock the rod/sleeve back through the tube on which the motor pivots ?? Hit it with a hammer and a punch and push it back through and clean the tube and re-grease and reinstall ??

LOL good advise on not beating in the new one! Grease causes more harm than good over time. It will harden and make it hard to steer. This is the lube I use when I change steering cables. http://www.overtons.com/modperl/prod...ID=1006&r=view

I prefer not to use any kind of grease. If you have any type of marine business in your area ask them if they have any proprietary synthetic oil. Royal purple makes one in a spray can too.

Anyone have a good suggestion on how best to clean out inside the tube to get the rust out?

Is there some kind of small wire brush or sanding disk to attach to a drill that will fit "Just right" to clean it out good.

I under stand that there is a special nut with grease zert that can be installed on the other end of the stearing rod. I went to West Marine but they did not have them. I never went to a boat dealer.

I also use a silicone spray on mine. Just spray after each trip. Turn motor all the way to one side so ou can spray the whole rod.

Gerald, i heard that a 12 gauge shotgun wire attachment out of a cleaning kit fits perfect. Going to try it this evening if i can get it out.
