Re: Stearing Cable

teleflexmarine.com is a good place to start. I believe they have diagrams and a "how to measure" section.<br />I hate it when my cable poops off my wirm gear too ;)

Re: Stearing Cable

I'll bet you're talking about the old cable and pulley steering. Try your public library. I imagine there would be something in the iboats Marine Store as well.

Go to glen-l.com and do a search on "drum cable steering". They have diagrams.

Re: Stearing Cable

Well I just put my new Teleflex rack and pinion cable in today. Day and night. Boy am I happy. They measure them tip to tip of whatever is connected to the cable with the engine steering part compressed.<br /><br />Mark
