If mechanical, do you have the TeleFlex Big T helm ? I presume the engine pivots freely by hand when the steering is disconnected (?)
If so, problem likely to be in the cable, water gets in there. Replace the cable. I doubt its the Big T, but it can be taken apart readily.
Or if not, water may have corroded the inner diameter of the engine's steeing tube. They were made of carbon steel in those days as I recall.
This may effect steering both ways however.

Just cut the cable and replace everything. A Teleflex NFB 4.2 system can be had from Boatfix for under $200. That includes the helm and cable.
Ditto on replacing everything. It's not worth the hassle of dealing with Big T steering. You won't be disapointed with the NFB system
smart play is to pull the set up you have,throw it in the trash can...up grade it to a hydraulic set up ... :wink:
