I bought myself an 89 Skeeter. It has an old 77 Merc 1500 Inline that seems to run a little better afer finding this board last July. <br /><br />I learned about decarbing with seafoam - my neighbor called me "cheech" and mentioned something about smoking??<br /><br />Anyway - my current problem is that I have no steering. My last outing went fine, steered onto trailer, etc. <br /><br />It's strange how it just does not work now. <br />It's a teleflex system. It does turn in one direction, but will not pull back when turned in the other direction. The cable does not appear to be broke - I can push the motor manually only if the wheel has been turned in the same direction. <br /><br />I unbolted the cable nut at the motor, and when I pull on the cable, the motor does move.<br /><br />There is a little nipple on the casing - is that for grease or hydraulic fluid? <br /><br /> By the way, I don't know anything about boats, this is my first. I had to do a search just to figure-out the fuel/oil ratio.<br /><br />Any suggestions on the steering issue?
