steering froze up

My steering on my evinrude 140 hp outboard is froze and I can't get it unstuck. Anybody got any suggestions.
Thanks

It is probably in the cable and it might be easiest to just replace it. Try disconnecting the linkage and see if the motor turns. i bet it will and then you can try to add grease to the fitting on the front of the motor. If that doesn't work then it is time to buy a new cable.

Yep, your right. Took the cable out today. Thanks
