1986 Proline 230 C.C. w/ 1998 Johnson 225 O.R.

First question.... I have posted several things on here about this boat... would you guys prefer I keep all of my questions in the same thread or should I start a new thread for each issue? Now to the concern.... The steering is very tight, and when I let go of the steering wheel it pulls to the left. After reading previous threads Others were instructed to remove the steering cable from the motor and turn the motor "it shout turn easy" define easy... yes I know we are dealing with 500 lbs of supported weight and it does turn easy but it will hit a tight sticky spot durring rotation its not a smothe rotation in other words... So I have stopped the other steering tests until I determine if this is normal... I guess if I had to describe it its like rolling a tire and you hit a stick... stops for a sec then continues to rotate.....

There are grease fittings on your motor, sounds like they need some grease.

I got no response on the question... I'm just trying to make sure I am posting things correctly...
