| Steering cable broke on my 1878 Mustang 17. I would like to replace the steering system. As best I can tell, the original is a teleflex Big-T. Also looking at the Teleflex Safe-T QC (SS137). Looking for advice or past experience by others who have had to replace the steering on Mustang 17 (or similar CC boat). Thank! |

Check with Zach at N3 Boatworks. He can get you the right part at a good price. I think your boat takes a std cable. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

| Why replace the entire system? The big-t us superior to the low-buck options like the safe-t. Just get a new cable, they're $100. |

Gary, I agree with the others. Why replace the entire system?? BTW, we want pictures! A diary entry is needed as well.

Pete, Maybe he's busy working on the boat and has his computer left on? Ready to come back and give us an update? |

| Appreciate the advice. I am planning to replace only the cable. I was thinking that the original helm might be worn and best to be replaced. I now get the sense that the big-t helm is top quality, and better than a newer and lower quality replacement. |
