Andrew, You mentioned the cable doesn't move when you turn the helm but have you had a chance to pull the cable out to confirm it's the cable and not something in the helm itself? What are all the dealers saying about delivery on the special cable? |

Where exactly are you in "Northern WI" are you? We are in Minocqua, and I got a "go to" boat guy, who more than likely would have the cable.

Dan, Did you catch that the cable needed is the special longer stroke length made just for CC? |

No, it's a special stroke. Skidim has a good description/explanation. |

I tried calling watercraft.. Plowmans is not a nautique dealer.
Hoping to hear back from some places this week on a timeline . |

Andrew, That's odd since Plowmans shows up in a search Do you know if they were a dealer at one time? If they were, maybe they still have the special cable in stock? |

Ryden Marine for ALL of your Nautique needs!
Plowman's is now a Lund and Bennington only and wont touch Nautiques. (I've tried). |

So does ryden carry parts as well? They are close to my house so that would work well if they did.. I have a friend that works at Plowmans and yeah they really only deal with the brands you mentioned

Dan and Andrew,
I'm still curious why Plowmans shows up in the search. Was Plowmans ever a Nautique dealer? |

Hey Pete, I've talked to Plowman's several times, and am under the impression they were never Nautique dealers or servicers. I've only been up here in the Northwoods about 12 years now, so maybe before the current owners???? I just know that the people I bought my 93 SN from, bought it and always took it over for service to Three Lakes.
Now I do it myself, OR I trust Peter over at Ryden Marine to work on it as well. |

Just wanted to give a quick update and a thanks to the board for helping me with my
Project thus far. I removed the steering cable at the helm and sure enough it was snapped in half. I had to remove the tag end that remained through the overflow tube. I finally was able to get the replacement cable from Nautique parts after it was on back order for a while. I have the back seat removed and will start the replacement this weekend. Thanks again -Andrew |

When you pull the new cable through, tie an extra cord on to it.
Then you would have it in place if you want to pull an extra wire through someday in the future. |

glad you found your problem. I too just got done repacking my rudder, as well as installing a new steering cable. I can now turn my steering easily with one finger. SO much better, and was a fairly inexpensive fix.

Me too especially after 3 pages, one month and not following the suggestion in the very first post after the initial question. |
