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?

Dan,
What are the chances.. I live in the minocqua area as well.!
I would be interested in reaching out to your boat guy..
You can send me
An email with the info if you feel
Comfortable...

Local dealer, Plowmans or Watercraft?

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

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?

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

Andrew,
Did you have a chance to open this link? Skidim has a good description/explanation.

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.

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

Yeah I am a bit of an over analyzer on most things!! Thanks for bearing with me.
