1996 210WA Steering Wheel locked due to frozen cable

[flhsblue]

I am looking for information on where I can find a steering control and cable replacement.

The Yamaha 200 v6 200TXRR 6G6 UL 764220 is a 1998

The steering wheel is locked up and the cable must be rusted and locked up.

Your lucky it did not break. Obviously you need to find the replacement cable if you can or replace steerage with a hydraulic system. If that cable would have snapped while underway on plane the motor would violenlty kick probably to the right out of control. 

That is a scary thought, for sure!

My steering froze up on my 150 merc. I took it to my mechanic here in Tampa. He replaced steering cable it was probably around 100 bucks or so.

It's probably a Teleflex, not hard to replace. The length should be stamped on the outside of the cable. With a 200, you might want to consider hydraulic (sea star).

Thank you for the great information it is very helpful. I will be disconnecting the cable from the steering mechanism to be able to see if I can find the markings on the cable jacket. It is a Teleflex system.
