    Have you made contact with anything in the water with the rudder? Make sure that there are no obstruction under the engine as well. I left a rag in there one time and it got caught up in the rudder arm inside the boat. Good luck.

    That may be a good idea to have the steering cable checked. Mine went up after about 200+ hours of use. Got extremly hard to steer, to the point that i was sore driving. Upon replacement, was nice and easy to steer.

    Thx...I will havew the new owner check that...I sold the boat so I gave the guy about an extra 900$ to fix the problem. I guess I should have checked it before , maybe will end up being cheaper

    I'll still swear by ' a pound of prevention is worth an ounce of cure ' . Grease your rudder shaft and the cable ends. Don't goop it on, just enough to form a barrier to keep moisture out. After almost 2 years and over a hunnerd hrs she feels as good as the day I brought her home
