Need some advice, I was out driving the boat last weekend and the steering went completely out. The boat veered to the right with no assistance from me. When I first looked at the steering issue, I found the lock nut at the cable clamp to be loose. Obviously I tightened the nut and assumed that was the issue. But it wasn't. I have followed the steering cable from the steering wheel back to the rudder and everything seems to be fine. I can see the rudder turning with the turning of the steering wheel. If the cable was broke then i would think the rudder wouldn't turn. Also, I checked the clamp on the rudder and it seems to tight. I did go back and hit all grease fittings with new grease. Took the boat out last night and had not problems???? I don't know what to look at next. I am somewhat uncertain about the issue happening again.
Any Suggestions would be great!!
