Stiff cable steering

[SimonCh]

Alright guys, just had a look at the boat for the first time this year. The steering is pretty stiff - I've disconnected it from the outboard and the cable alone is stiff, any way to loosen it up?

Cheers,

Si

If you get a pressure grease gun, an air one would be ideal and put it at one end of the cable and work it in.

That will free it, I have done this in the past.

unfortunutly there is no easy fix, its a case of patience, using any anti sieze oil like duck oil, wd40 or diesel fuel, and keep working it good luck.
