Thank you. I have been researching boater safety lessons. I am looking into something that may fit my schedule as I am only home typically one or two days every couple of weeks. I also am not sure if I understand the what you mean about the straps in the “bow” but I have a strap that is only...

Should I be able to find the end of the cable fairly easy? Maybe I am just overlooking? I will definitely look at YouTube though. Thanks again

Still researching to find out what exactly I have but the information I received when I purchased was that it is a 1980 sea ray 207?

Well I finally made it home and I think I found the steering cable but looks like I may need to take things apart to find the end to disconnect. Here are some pictures of the boat and it does only say sea ray not seville. But in one picture it says v-207 ??

Thank you for your information. When I return back home this weekend I will try and locate the end of the cable and disconnect to see what happens. Thanks again.

Thank you. As of right now I am not really sure. I am still learning terminology and I believed that it does have power steering because it says “power steering” on the inboard, and the same on the outdrive if I am correct with my term usage. It does not appear to be any more stiff turning one...

I will put up some pics as soon as I get home

Thanks

1980 Sea Ray Seville 207. Had it on the water last week for the first time. I have a lot to learn.

I bought a 1980 sea ray seville at the end of last season. Needed new u joint and gimbal bearing had that done at the shop last month. Put it in the water last week and realized the steering is stiff. I do not have a manual to read and I don’t have any idea what I am doing? Can someone please...
