THale	posted 08-03-2010 08:02 PM ET (US)         We need the remedy for a hydraulically locked steering. This issues is discussed on page 51 on the Operation & Maintenance Manual for Force Outboards.

Ditch the hydraulic steering, use cable and pulley http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c191/floridaboy2053/ race%20boat%20pictures/chry2.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c191/floridaboy2053/ Chrysler%20105%20running/Chrysler105runningatramp.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c191/floridaboy2053/ race%20boat%20pictures/DSC_1746.jpg Rich
