steering cable

[rolmops]

I am considering changing from an old steering cable system to either a rack or rotary system.So far I found out that a rack is a bit cheaper but not enough to be a mayor factor.
Could any of you gurus tell me the pros and cons of the two systems?
I intend to use one of them on a 17 foot 1964 Duracraft Orion partial V hull with a 1986 50 horse Evinrude.
thank you,Rolmops.

Ayuh,........

It's not so much the Pros or Cons,.....

It's All about the Space Available under the Dash..........

Racks are Too Wide for many app.s,.....

Re: steering cable

i only use the rotary system, it is user friendly, much easier to install. on my 58 duracraft, i still have the pulley cable. trim tab adjusted so i can turn wheel loose. would love to see pixs of yours. see mine and post yours here: http://forums.iboats.com/Duracraft
