Title: Cable hookups
Post by: steves86ta on May 04, 2015, 01:24:40 PM: Hi All,

Im in the process of ordering/obtaining parts for my weiman. For now i will be running a 12JC pump.

I have the pump, transom housing, and tiller arm. I do not have anything to attach the cables to the transom housing or the jet itself.

What do i need? My forward reverse cable has a heim joint on one end. Im assuming i through bolt this to the reverse bucket?

What parts do i need to attach the forward/reverse cable to the tiller arm. What parts do i need to mount the Steering cable?

Heres what i think i need, but please let me know if im wrong or right

Steering
1. Steering tube
2. Steering tube nuts
3. Steerign Tube bushing

Forward/Reverse Cable
1. Cable seal for the transom adapter. Either the but with the 3 piece seal (2 washers and a bushing) Or the nicer one piece units
2. Bolt to through bolt the heim joint to the reverse bucket
3. what is needed to mount the forward/reverse cable to the tiller arm?
4. Is the bowl o-ring needed for the transom adapter? Or is silicone okay?

What kind of silicone?

Thanks, also if anyone has the steering tube or any of the other stuff for sale. Let me know

DAP 100% silicone

Bowl to TAKE o-ring is more trouble than it is worth - silicone it

If you can seal just the suction flange to the TA, you will still be able to remove the bowl without removing the TA
