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

RE: steering froze up

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.
