"5.7 bravo 3. I removed the steering cable. Should i be able to turn the outdrive by hand? Does the boat (power steering) have to be running?
The drive only moves a bit. Does that mean the assist cylinder is frozen?
Please help, oh mighty forum!"

"Hey thanx guys.
The steering cable was froze, and when i removed it the drive still wont move.
Will it move without the engine running? I ran the engine and it still didnt move.
Is the assist cylinder repairable?"
