During yesterdays outing while steering left I heard something break and boat won't steer left but will steer right. Can anyone tell me what happened an can I replace this cable with another steerin system as I'm guessing this is rack and pinion

Re: Force 125 Steering

The steering cable is about 1/16 piano wire inside a spiral piano wire wrap through which it slides and encased in a vinyl cover. Since you push the cable to steer right and pull it to steer left, it does sound like a broken cable.

You can buy the cable alone but if you are dissatisfied with the steering system now, a complete helm package less steering wheel is usually only a few bucks more than the cable alone. Steering wheels are standard taper and fit almost all helms.

Teleflex makes some nice systems. Basic packages start around 150 or so. If your steering is heavy, you can buy a No-Feedback system for around a couple of hundred bucks.--maybe less on line.
