Title: Steering cable
Post by: Santee_Native on July 30, 2012, 03:59:42 PM

So I need a new steering cable for my jet and can't find the correct one :banghead:

My existing cable is a Morse A300624 192in M3778 that's whats stamped in the cable. It is a rotary type I would like to replace it all if possible. Any one have a link to the one I need to order?

Thanks for the help again
Mike

You're only using your cable to direct a nozzle..

A v6 outboard powerhead and drive is a lot harder to control.

just get a rack and pinion kit with helm and call it a day.  it'll feel a lot better than the rotary.  assuming that you have the room to fit a rack and pinion setup under the dash...

$133 done for a 16' cable.

How much room is needed for the rack and pinion setup?
