Hello all.  Tired of replacing my steering cable every 4-5 years on my day cruiser.  I had the grease fitting on the end of my last Teleflex SS "Rack" cable, but it didn't really help prevent cable corrosion.

There appears to be a new Teleflex (now Seastar) cable: "SSC154XX TFXtreme".  I reached out to them to inquire as to the internal construction (all stainless or not), but nobody has gotten back to me.  I hate that.

Uflex advertises an "armour-wrapped stainless steel core" cable.  Does this mean it's all stainless?  I dunno.  Also reached out to them with no reply back......grrrr.

Anyone have any real-life comparisons of the relative corrosion resistance of these (or any other) jet boat steering cables?

Thanks

Yes.  Didn't help.

Hmmm stop stumped then. I used to have to swap cables every couple of years, but this seemed to fix my issue. I do fill with grease until I see it coming through the transom part of the linkage.

Well I hope someone is able to resolve your issue. I'll be curious if there is a new fix.
