If you completely loosen the starboard side nut and the motor turns to where you see cable then turns back the cable is fine. I still think the shaft with the milled flat is stuck in the steering tube so do what Scott said........

You will be bashing the cable out from port to starboard or back through the steering tube. If your steering cable is restrained or has no room to flex then you must detach your cable from the helm so the cable has somewhere to go as you smash away
