I installed my new Steersman grease nut today. It was simple to install. I loosened the other end of the steering cable and pumped grease threw it until it looked clean.
The steering works much better now. I can turn the steering wheel with one finger, with a lot of effort.
How tight should the motor be, moving it back and forth without the steering cable attached? It takes a lot of effort to turn the motor on my 60HP but my old Mercury 175 is so loose it is almost sloppy.
