Alright gents, a few of you know that i traded mr. brian (boost) my eliminator for his nordic cruiser...kick ass boat!...anyways, after finding out that 6 out of the 8 threads for the droop were bad, had jack @ MPD put new inserts in it last week. then i just went and studded it...now its back all together and RTR. a question i have for you guys is: where the clevis attaches from the steering shaft to the arm, there is that thing(i forgot the name of it) that is a hinge that will lower the steering shaft so i wont have to use those crazy spacers that you see below. how easy is it to install it @ the TA? do i have to pull the big nut and gasket off? the nut wont thread all the way off because of the flat part on the steering shaft so im a little lost here...thanx for the free future help guys. ;D

It's called loosen your steering tube a bit, take that spacer out and gently pull the cable down to meet your steering arm, you already have a swivel installed. Try that and let me know how that works.

The swivel is on the end of your cable, where it connects to the tiller arm. Yes I still have your hat, it's currently keeping my balls warm.

Nice boat Reid the shaft for the cable has two big nuts :P if i remember right, back the nut outside the transom all the way out and you should be able to pull the shaft from inside the boat.
