Dick, mine has stuck before after setting for a while. I had a helper turm the steering wheel as I gave the motor a tug and it took off. My boat has a SeaStar steering system on it, im not sure what you have. You said that; the pumps are full of fluid ! so you probley have somthing else. Mine did the same thing that you said yours did. Tried to move then stop and then made a popping sound. Found out later that the popping was the relife/check valve in the helm unit. One of them was stuck but it freed up when I gave it a tug.
I hope that you find out whats wrong and get to take your buddy fishing before he goes to Iraq. My son just got back from his second trip and im going to take him fishing all i can. Good luck, Bob.
