Steering going the opposite way I turn
« on: May 22, 2016, 07:42:09 PM »
Took the Hondo jet boat out today at el cap and the steering was turning the opposite way of what I turned. I just installed a teleflex seastar solutions rack cable  and pinion .  I didn't realize that the setup I have is for starboard side steering. Is there a kit I can buy to switch it? I don't think flipping the rack and helm will do anything. I can't run the cable through the other side of the boat either.  This is what I installed. 😓😫😫😫💀🔫

The helm is upside down.

Drove the race boat like that for 35 miles. Made by brain hurt. Lol

Will that fix anything ? It will be on the port side of the boat and have been racking brain if that will work. If you look at the picture it would not make a difference, right????😯

It changes the side the pinion contacts the rack. Reverses the direction.
