I have a 2007, 25 hp long shaft Merc. motor. I am frustrated with trying to adjust this little nut nut that sits underneath sort of the biggest part of the motor, near the end of tiller handle. I will attach a few pics.

The key to this plan, is how easily accessible the bolts are.
If your boat's steering is unusually stiff, you should first check to make sure there's adequate grease on the motor. Without this lubrication, the steering wheel may be difficult to turn. Look under the power head of your motor where the motor pivots on the shaft.
Why The Boat Pulls To The Right Or Left That is mainly because of how the boat is pushed through the water by the propeller. The boat's engine drives the propeller that spins in either a clockwise direction, (standard rotation) or a counter clockwise direction, (left-hand rotation or counter rotation). [links]
Also to know, why is my boat pulling to the right?
To fix sudden stiff or locked-up steering, undo the nut at the end of the cable end on the drag link, remove the cable, and clean the hardened grease off of it. Then, clean out the steering tube by using a steering tube brush on a drill motor. After cleaning, grease the steering cable again and reinstall it. Performing this procedure one or two times each year prevents the problem from occurring.
Common problems with outboard boat steering include steering that becomes stiff suddenly, steering that locks up completely, and steering that turns in one direction easily, but does not turn in another. When steering tube grease hardens, it stops the movement of the steering cable, resulting in steering stiffness or lockup. However, boaters often believe that the steering wheel helm is the problem. One-direction steering signals cable damage, such as when a stainless steel cable strand breaks and hangs up.
The steering wheel helm is where boaters steer their boats, so most of them assume the steering wheel helm is causing the steering stiffness problem. It is rare for a mechanical steering helm to lock up. If a steering cable locks up, it does so only after rust becomes visible, the outer casing cracks open, or the cable end that bolts up to the steering tube develops a lot of play. When boaters attempt to fix the steering stiffness problem by forcing the steering wheel to turn, the result is destruction of the helm and the steering cable.
