1978 80 HP Merc - Trim

[JPK]

I've got this Merc running again but I can't seem to get the motor to turn. Like to make the boat go in a different direction. It's got plenty of grease but I can't get it to move right or left. Can't find anything in the maintenance manual either. HELP!!!

Sounds like you need to replace your steering.<br /><br />TMD

disconnect the cable from the engine, does the engine turn, if so cable/helm time, if not, pivot tube time
