is it power steering if it is this is normal<br />if not it may be sticking in the bushing inside transom plate. take off cover on transom plate and have a look see.

Marty, it's a quote from Alexander Hamilton. There was not enough characters remaining in the signature line to include the author or the period at the end of the quote. <br /><br />I, too, was impressed when I first read it. It goes to the core of one of today's biggest arguements.
