Cap, Ever consider doing a service video on lubricating the steering cable from thrust nozzle to helm wheel? Mine is dry and tight so I have Prep. It now. Didn't catch this at summer prep.

Hey Greg, mine always feels stiff and is sometimes stuck in place when the winter covers come off. I slowly have to work it back and forth. I spray some CRC Marine 6-56 on the parts of the cable I can see which is at the jet pump and under the console behind the steering wheel, turning it as I go. I'm not sure what else could be done short of replacing it.

@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore Consider this, Disconnect the steering arm from the stern jet nozzle. Remove the fittings from the arm and remove the plastic seal.Where the arm penetrates the larger size tubing. Hook up a clear vinyl hose and pump in some Gear oil with a light duty compressor and it'll fill the tubing all the way back to the helm. Steering is much easier now.And this preserves the steering arms life.
@@greggifford361 how do you know its pumping all the way to the steering mechanism behind the wheel?

My first mate is at helm turning the wheel left and right as the oil in the hose enters the tube. The wheel should be noticeable easier to turn. When it is easier I shut down the compressor.. Reassemble and reconnect to the jet nozzle.
