Can anyone identify what steering helm i have. Picture Below.
I want to change my steering cable, it's a little to stiff. Figure change the whole cable instead of a band-aid.
This is all new to me. I take out the existing steering cable and measure from black to black, that would be the length i would need to replace the cable?

It's a Teleflex brand, check with them if steering cable is standard on all their models, or each one has it's own steering cable. If driving wheel is hard to steer, it's change time...

Happy Boating

I notice when I turn right, it's smooth when I turn left. It's stuff, two hands I have to use.

Adjust your trim tab on the lower unit just above the prop.
(Trailing edge to the right will help steer to the left.)

Try trimming out a little this will also help steering to the left.

If your steering is good in both directions when it's on the trailer then there's nothing wrong with it.
