Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,..... Is it well greased at the tilt tube at the motor,..??

It could be ya just need a new cable,.....
The skippin' feelin' is probably the worn out gears in the helm, from the bad cable, or lack of grease at the tilt tube,...

Is it a rotary helm, or rack, 'n pinion,..??

Under the dash and out of sight behind where the steering wheel is attached, you will see either rack and pinion hardware

or a rotary system
