Although its Feb and my boat wont see water for months I know im going to have the same problem I had last year. Which was with the steering disconnected from the outboard it is not very easy to move back forth as it was years back. I have routinly greased the the midsection but it just gets more and more difficult each year after sitting for the winter. I have looked briefly through my shop manual and from the looks of it to get any access to the "swivel pin" one would have to remove the power head. I have tried to heat it up to loosen the grease but no luck. Anyone had any experience with freeing this up? I have plenty of time as we are waiting for another foot of the white stuff and I dont take the shrink wrap off until april. Any help would be great, thanks.
