Took boat apart last year,1988 SN 2001,finally got around to putting it back togethertake my son out for first ride in quite some time. Problem when I turn right is left and left is right. I haven't messed with it yet but would like to know correct way to re-install. Thanks Oh and by the way I stayed out and pulled my son foe awhile just had to get used to the whole reverse steering!

You put the helm together wrong. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Im sure you mean that he simply installed the steering cable on the wrong fitting in the helm? ------------- |

There is place where the cable enters the helm and a place where it exits the helm. You just have that detail reversed.

Now, this is a time I wish I was good at CAD or at least one of those graphics programs so I could draw a PICTURE!!. Let's see, if the cable goes around the the top, and if I turn the wheel this direction, which way will the cable move?? If I put the cable on the bottom, will the cable move the other direction? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
