"I have a little 2.5 hp on a freighter canoe. When under power, the steering is very, very stiff, and I see that there are some minor grooves being worn in the motor lower unit where it contacts the teflon ?? bushing. I grease this bushing regularly with lithium grease and have backed off the tension screw almost to zero, but it is almost a two hander to turn the motor under power. At slow speeds there is no problem. Any ideas? Thanks folks."
