Ok so i have decided to share my big blunder here. I had to replace my steering cable right before the 4th so i ordered one from ebay a teleflex 16 ft cable. It came in on the 3rd so i bisted butt to get it in, had to unbolt the motor and all because the fit was so tight. I get it in just to find out i needed a different helm as the old detmar helm wasnt compatible. So that made it where i wasnt on the river for the 4th which sucked. Next i get my new helm i had to modify the dash but i finally got it in. Cleaned up all the mess from where i had drilled into the dash and had nuts and bolts all over from the old system. I was in such a hurry to try it out i got it in the water and i had hooked it up backwards! I steer right it goes left and vise versa. Now i felt like a moron haha and it was a pain to load it back up at the ramp. But now its finally fixed and ready to hit the river. Has anybody else made such a simple yet foolish mistake?
