03 Supra launch Steering Problem! Please Help

[mule822]

My supra has recently started steering very hard. Is there a grease fitting or an access point where it can be lubricated? Does anyone have pics if so it would help tremendously! THanks

I pretty much tore the boat apart today after work, had to take the back seat, and ballast tank out to get to grease fitting on the rudder. I ended up pulling the rudder out to regrease and make sure it wasnt bent, when i put it back in it moved so smooth and free. Seemed tight when i hooked up the steering cable, since i have everything out im gonna suck it up and change the cable.

Did you replace the O rings inside the rudderr shaft??? What type of grease did you use??? Have been thinking about a graphite based grease for mine....

i didnt replace them. they were still tight and looked good. I used a white lithium grease. I use graphite lube at work and think a grease is better for o-ring applications.
