Vibration in steering wheel.

[Grady White Guy]

I'm getting some vibrations in my steering wheel when I turn it. It works fine, and turns the outboard motor. Has anyone any idea what can cause this vibration and how to fix it? Thanks.

I assume your steering is mechanical with cables? Is it possible that the cable has come loose somewhere?

It does not have cables, It is hydraulic steering.

It does not have cables, It is hydraulic steering.

It may have air in the lines. Check the reservoir level and bleed the system according to manufacturers directions.

Mine was a leak in a seal. Felt like a click click when I turned the wheel.

You can try to add some hydraulic steering fluid into the cap behind the steering wheel before bleeding, it just may be that the level dropped. If it persists, then have it bled and new fluid installed.
