Told NP about my issue and they said...
"The rudder would spin freely until it gets in a bind with any pressure on it" |

Mark - Thanks for the tips! I had already run the cable with a rope attached so I was happy to see that was a good idea! My 93 has 680 hours and the wheel was major two handed turns all week! Just got back from vacation up north and stripped the boat down and pulled it out. Did the job with my 14 year old. Put him in charge of the dash side and I did the dirty end. - Fred

Had that same problem. It means you need to repack the rudder. Like NP said, once the prop wash pushes against the rudder it causes it to bind in the packing. Pick up some bearing grease, new packing from your local marina and about an hour labor and you're good to go. Be careful though because when you remove the stuff off the top of the arm and loosen the packing nut the rudder will drop down and hit the trailer.
