So, tackling a rather time consuming remodel of my early 70's Cherokee McKenzie runabout.
At the point where i can start re-assembly and have some steering setup questions.
anyone know any stores (regular big box) that will carry the tension springs in stock? There is nothing really bad about mine other then 5 coats of various paint with rust mixed in for rigidity. but i thought shiny new would look good for relatively cheap. I have seen them online for 10 bucks but don't want to wait.
Next would be do i even need them? i understand it's to keep the cables tight. But instead of the last pulley attached to the motor bracket then back to the spring on the transom, couldn't i just go straight to the motor?
Thanks!
Steve
