steering cable Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: General Correct Craft Discussion Forum Name: General Discussion Forum Discription: Anything Correct Craft URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2400 Printed Date: January-21-2025 at 8:21pm Topic: steering cable Posted By: abolton Subject: steering cable Date Posted: September-07-2005 at 12:36am The steering cable on my 78 SN broke inside the sheeth at the helm control. I hope to push enough to grab on to from the tiller arm. Do I get just the inside metal spirial wound cable? It looks like the cable comes with a cover too. I looked on Whitelake Marine and its $149.00 Whats the best way? Any help would be great. ------------- ABE Replies: Posted By: Jim_In_Houston Date Posted: September-07-2005 at 1:07am If you want to be sure you get the right parts call Woody at Southeast Correctcraft.

I agree about the dollars, My 12 yr old son was driving when the cable broke today. The *#$%@ on the jet ski following got up-tite when he turned hard right and stopped. Pays to give other boats as much room as ya can, its a big hwy. use it ------------- ABE Posted By: Jim_In_Houston Date Posted: September-07-2005 at 1:47am Yeh. I boat on a narrow winding bayou. Mine broke as I was ripping up the water around a hairpin curve. I found myself headed straight into the bank and having to hit a very hard reverse throwing me hard against the dash. I got a tow from a sailboat...!!!! (in a narrow bayou). You are scarring your son for life!!! He will grow up addicted to CCs. I called woody just to find out what length cable I needed. He made me aware that I also needed a tube and a couple of clamps to make it all work - I had no clue. It saved me a lot of head scratching. Woody's the man. ------------- Happy owner of a '66 and a '68 Mustang Posted By: abolton Date Posted: September-12-2005 at 3:11pm I pulled out a 17.5' CC cable and put in a 17' cable - it works great and I did save about $100. ------------- ABE
