Title: Torn bucket linkage.
Post by: riser39 on July 13, 2009, 08:57:44 AM

I was adjusting the bucket on my boat the other day and i tore the plastic casing on the cable.  It hasn't affected the throw but i am afraid of water entering the line and causing corrosion in the future.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to waterproof the line to keep water out.  I tried silicone but the first run it came off.

Make sure you run the shrink tube over the metal casing on the cable, I think you'll be fine as wine with that setup

Tom,
Thanks for the heads up.  I saw that you sell the cables and they look very reasonable but i am just trying to get through the rest of the season before i tear everythig apart again. ;D
