This is a simple yet tedious task. One important thing to remember is to connect the motor end of existing cable to the steering end of the new cable. This will make it alot easier to guide replacement into place.

but how do u remove the broken cable from the steering wheel, do u have to remove the whole unit from under the center consul

How do you lubricate an outboard motor steering cable?

The steering cables manufactured by the marine industry today, are not designed to be lubricated, as they cannot be disassembled as the cables of olden days. One of the most common problem areas is not the cable itself, but rather where the cable ram slides through the engine tilt tube. Pull the cable out of the tube, clean out the old hardened grease and or rust. Regrease the cable and install back into the tube. You may also want to check, while the cable is disconnected, how easy the engine can be turned from side to side. This proceedure will indicate wether the cable/helm assembly, or the engine itself is causing the hard steering.

Is a MasterCraft boat supposed to be hard to steer?

No, sounds like something is wrong with your rudder or steering cable. I own numerous boats and and my Ski Nautique (like your mastercraft) is the best driving boat of them all. The steering is extremely easy because there is little to no torque on the rudder compared to all the torque generated by outboard motors where the propulsion system is doing the steering.

What does it mean when the gears don't engage on a 1977 mercury boat?

Adjust or change the cable that goes from the shifter to the transmission or engine, unless it is an outboard, and then I am not sure. On the outboard, as already mentioned, check the shift cable first. If no problems are observed, the the problem is most likely in the gearcase. If the gearcase has been removed, it is also possible that the shiftshaft is not properly, or at all, engaged with the lower shiftshaft. Should the above checks prove ok, then worn gears, clutch, or internal gearcase damage is probable.
