Fugly-2 -Less Fugly-The rebirth of a Legend...

Think i might have stripped my steering helm when trendsetter and i were freeing up the stuck cable in the tilt tube, motor steers fine right and left but if i put too much pressure it clicks and jumps a rung on the cable, new helm or tela-flex cable or both??

Entire kit is under $200 and was redesigned years ago. It helps remove torque steer and unwanted steering. It's now built to be a poor mans hydrolic steering. I bought it two years ago.

[h=3]No FeedBack Technology[/h]Most steering systems in our catalog are available as standard or No FeedBack (NFB) types. No FeedBack isolates the driver from the engine’s torque. With traditional steering systems, the engine has a tendency to turn to the right, which the driver compensates for by keeping pressure to the left on the wheel. This also allows the boat to turn rapidly to the right should the driver lose his/her grip on the wheel, resulting in a dangerously tight turn.
NFB helms have a clutch mechanism built in which keeps the boat on course without constant fighting. The only time you feel the engine’s torque is when you turn the helm. There are no disadvantages to the NFB systems, other than a modest $40.00 additional cost over regular systems, and we heartily recommend them if you are replacing your steering system. NFB cannot be used with PowerAssist or autopilots.
 
i was reading about that, will have to see, sure it is fine to take it for a scoot but I wouldn't want to have to dodge a sunken log at highspeed n then just here click click...., steering is something you just don't want to mess with...of course it rears its ugly head as soon as I have my starboard mounted kicker bolted snugly in place....it will have to come back off to be able to remove the steering cable...

When buying a new cable it was like $30 more to buy the entire kit. The only question I had was why not.... So I changed it. It's a simple install. 1-1.5 hours max
 
Finished the electronics

Right on Jeff. Go get her wet and I hope you can steer your way home lol (probably want to get that new kit real soon). You can always steer with the kicker :).

Have fun!!!
