Tight Steering

[grimreaper]

Hey, I am new to boating. I have a 1988 Sunrunner 292 Ultra. Yesterday was the first time I had her out. The boat steers ok, but the wheel does not turn freely all the time. sometimes she feels like it sticks for a second, then is ok again. Is there something I should greese or lube? Any input on what might be the problem. The wheel says, Racken pinion steering.<br />Thanks Al Kelley<br />grimreaper105@comcast.net

Re: Tight Steering

Sounds as if you have a rust spot from off season storage. Examine any exposed cable parts and there are ways to grease the system.<br /><br />If you happen to see any rust use a green 3M pad and some motor oil to remove the rust.<br /><br />Bob
