Re: Steering 1993 Force 120
Do you mean it's physicly hard to steer? Or is it not going where you steer as it should?<br />If it's too hard to turn the wheel,it needs grease and lube.<br />Most marinas sell a "Helm Lube kit" that screws on the top of the helm (the steering box),and allows you to inject the lube into it.Make sure you put a plastic drop cloth under it,so it does not gerk your carpet,if so equipped,because it totals carpet.<br />On the front of the outboard,there are grease fittings. Use the same grease as you use on your trailer's bearings. It may require someone to steer while you pump the gun,to get it to "take" grease.<br />Lastly, put the helm hard over,to expose the entire steering rod. Clean it with WD-40 and a rag.Once it's clean, put a little grease on a rag,and coat it liberally.Do this after you use the boat,especially if you do saltwater. Keep that steering rod clean and greased,your pivots greased,and you should have no more problems. <br /><br />------------------<br />Time to change my tagline
