The new steering system is in and it works like a champ. I didn't have to remove my motor to install the steering cable, which made my day. The No Feedback steering is awesome. Very smooth steering, and 3.5 turns lock to lock.
A PO had some other wires zip-tied to the old steering cable, which were a real pain to get to. The instructions say NOT to tie the steering cable to any other wires or cables, but for some reason a PO loved to zip tie everything together. We almost had to remove the rear floor section from the helm back just to rewire the boat and get the old steering system out. This new steering cable isn't zip-tied to anything.
Sorry, no pics of the install job because we did it outside in the rain. But it was pretty easy, and I've never done anything like it before. The worst part for me was finding other wires zip-tied to the steering cable under the floor, and that includes the main wiring bundle that leads from the "black box" in the stern, under the floor to the helm and all the gauges, toggles and ignition. So we had to be very careful about not pulling too hard on the old steering cable because we didn't want to mess up the other wiring that runs over the fuel tank.
