Stearing Tight

I have a 93 Starcraft with 3.0 I/O, It has the Rack and Pinion Stearing, so just cable staering. It is very difficult to stear seems real tight. I've been told its normal for that kind of stearing but seems too tight. Is there anything I can do? I've greased the shaft bar by back !

If it has never had the steering cable replaced, it probably needs to be replaced.

My 1987 center console with an outboard was hard to steer with both hands. So I installed a new steering cable and helm and it is now steerable with one finger.

It is worn out. The steering cable can break if you don't change it and could be very dangerous if it happens at the wrong time.

Unhook the steering cable from the outdrive to confirm its the cable and not the outdrive seizing up.
