Steering sticking.

[2008xpress]

I have a ,2008 90 hp Yamaha.Whenever it sits for a week or more the steering gets stuck.Really stuck.I have to wiggle it back and forth to break it loose ,then turn it from side to side and it loosens up.Anyone else have this problem?What gives?

I had that problem with my old boat.

I suspect that you have had water get into your steering cables and they are rusting inside the jacket. I would take it to a shop and see if they could lubricate and inspect the cables.
