I bought my 1983 C&C32 a four years ago. The wheel steering has always been really stiff. I have fixed the Edson brake so that is not the problem. I have also adjusted the cable tension and that seems to make no difference. There is grease in the screw-in holder that lubricates the rudder post. I have tested using the emergency tiller and it is pretty well impossible to move the rudder with the emergency tiller.
Any ideas? I'm not sure what else I can adjust to fix the problem.
