Good luck with sale. BTW, there is no such thing as "greasing" steering cables. Just replace them, they have a life and then they are no more.

Correct, don't grease up cables. I haven't had time to get in there and isolate the issue exactly. I have a hunch its engine pivot or the hydraulic steering assist are more likely the culprit other than bad cables. A 135hp motor doesn't rely on cables alone. The hydraulic cylinder that assists steering has a nipple for greasing/lubing or replacing the hydraulic fluid. If any boat experts out feel free to weigh in.

The steering on my boat was getting stiff-especially at slow speeds. Once on plane the problem goes away. I have greased the cables and it does help free up the steering some but its a temporary fix. New cables on most boats cost $300-400 installed. I'm putting off the repair until the steering gets worse-shouldn't be long.

Use a non seize grease-normal grease tends to congeal and attract dirt and will actually make the steering worse over time.
