Working on my first boat. In the middle of changing my helm and cables right now. The new helm came with a 90? bezzle. (I believe that's what it's called) it's an x34 bezzle. The one on my original helm was a 20? bezzle. The x35. (If I'm wrong on the part name)then the new bezzle sits more flush. The old bezzle tilted down a bit. Can I use this new bezzle even though it's different? Will it affect my steering?

Thank you buddy. I kept calling it a bezzle because I seen someone online talk about it with a picture. I think it's just the helm bracket. Lol. I called a local bait shop and talked to the owner and he told me the new bracket would work fine. Its installed. Only problem was the guy at the marine store where I bought my steering system ordered me the same 14 ft cable. I just took one back yesterday n told him I needed 16 ft. Lol. No big deal though. We all make mistakes. Now just waiting for my new cable. Thank you though buddy appreciate it.
