Stiff Steering and Throttles

From my post. Yes, Lowes.
"Then I removed the linkage end so the pass-through socket could pass down the cable end. Here is the 3/8 drive 7/8" Kobalt pass-through socket on the steering cable nut. I am glad the pump was out of the way."

Thanks I bought the sockets I need so I got my weekend job cut out for me. Thanks for all the info this site is amazing, I actually doubt there is any other boating site with so much detailed knowledge..

That is silicone that oozed out from the factory install of the mount plate (both pump plates are that way). It is not used on the 1052cc (at least in 06). There are no hoses to it on the inside.
