Re: 1976 OMC Steering Cable & Parts

If you have the TRU-COURSE steering and all you need is the steering cable because the inner cable is starting to frey, you can replace just the inner cable with same size cable from hardware stores. You will need to reuse the metal ends(which I think are stainless) or have new ones made then brazed on instead of crimping.That was the way I repair mine about 15 years ago.

Dar, I replaced my steering cable, called west marine and they had the right cable for about 150? My boat is an 82 with omc 800.

Thanks for the info - any chance of the location of West Marine? I'm in Vancouver, Canada - but am willing to buy & have shipped. Thanks kindly.
