Title: steering cable...
Post by: ka0tyk on May 18, 2011, 11:49:51 PM
mine got raped by the sea water and is frozen solid... i measured it and its just about 13' rack and pinion.  my question is does my panther use a standard type steering cable?  im guessing the end that sticks out of the boat is threaded and it screws in/out to get it centered? 

hell while im at it i might as well replace my control cable as well... it looks like a 4300BC?  that sound right?  hopefully tomorrow i can make a trip to rexmar and pick up some stuff.

You can usually get a "3 cable" deal and just replace them all. I know Tom at JBP does. Right around 2 hundo and comes with a new helm and all hardware you'll need.

already have a new throttle cable.   my steering and control cables were working fine until 1 dip into that salt water.  now they're locked up. grr.  stupid salt.

gonna swing by rexmar tomorrow morning and pickup a rack and pinion kit with cable, and a 43bc control cable as well.  think the only things i havent replaced now are the fuel tanks.  knock on wood!

hopefully the old rack lines up with the new one bolt hole wise.  then i gotta figure out how to actually unbolt it from teh dash... any pointers?
