welcome...

i had to replace my steering cable when i bought my boat too.. if there is a cable there already take it out and if you want u can take it to a boat place and they can tell you how long it is and everything.. theres a number on one of the ends of the cable witch tells you the lengh.. BUT if you dont have a cable and need to find out the lengh you need to measure the rout the cable is goin to take using straight lines... its really easy and its almost impossible to mess up.

welcome to the jet boating..

oh ya and everyone is goin to want pics.. so put some up...  :thumbup: :thumbup:

if you have some spare time take a trip over to rexmar.  hows yer throttle and control cable while yer at it?  they have package specials.  also with the steering cable their teleflex rack kits with helm are like $10 more and its nice to have everything nice and new.
