    Shorten Rotary Cable???

    I'm frustrated. The little whaler I've been working on received a brand new steering system (Teleflex SS173) and all is well, except. . . The damn cable is too long. It was the shortest length we could get from Fisheries Supply and it's still about 6" too long (that's after maximum distance...

    Rotary Steering Question

    My local yacht club has a 13' Whaler with a Honda BF20 on the back and the thing originally had cable steering. Well, that system went to crap (rusted through in 500 places) and we purchased a rotary steering system. Unfortunately, the way the transom of the boat is designed, the arm from the...

    Can you ID my engine?

    I bought an old Sears engine from a local auction for $25. It is model # 571.58301. For the sake of my life, I can't find the serial number. Much of the paint is missing, but I would have assumed they would have stamped it somewhere. <br /><br />There is a blank serial number space on the...
