The steering on my Yamaha 50TLR outboard motor is very stiff.

What can I do to make it easier to steer?

Russell's comment is very valid, however the first things to look at in any case:

  • If the outboard is moved by cable from a steering wheel, check every cable guide and the bearings in the steering wheel. All should be lubricated, without rust and freely moving.
  • The bearings on the outboard pivot should also be lubricated and freely moving

All those should be easy to check individually.
