SeaStar makes a NFB 4.2 steering kit.

Have you trouble shoot the stiffness? 

Pull out the steel shaft rod from the engine and try turning the steering wheel to be sure it’s the drive hub assembly.

Have you checked the fluid?

 

I'm an idiot, I was thinking it was hydraulic for some reason. I will try not to answer things I apparently know nothing about.

 

I will see my way to a Shimano thread now. :)

What ever you do, it's not plug and play, if you are not somewhat mechanical, you may be over your head.  There's a good possibility you will have to unbolt the engine from the transom and swing it away some to trouble shoot/repair it.  Then getting the cable pulled and new one in.  Just getting the steering wheel of the helm can be a challenge on some.

Depending on how the cable exits the rear of the boat, there may not be enough room to pull it out of the motor without removing the motor.  If it comes straight out the back, you might get it out, if it comes out of the splash well toward the motor, you usually have to remove the motor because there's not enough room the bend it enough to get the end out of the tube.
