Re: Replacing Steering Cable

I just replaced mine. It is a Morse Teleflex rack and pinion and was in very bad shape. One problem was too many tight bends.<br /><br />So when I replaced it I eliminated most of the bends. Now the cable is out on the deck of my bass boat. Well so are my trolling motor cables and my engine control cables.....big deal.<br /><br />It was really a straight forward process. One bolt/nut to the engine; one nut to the engine mounting bracket, 4 bolt/nuts to remove the cable from the rack steering unit. Cable came prelubed so it was just an assembly provess. Took about 1 hr.<br />Mark
