Planning winter mods - steering slop

YYZRCYYZRC Member Posts: 4,896 ✭✭✭✭✭
I’m tired of the slop in my cable steering. It’s gotten worse since having to drive the boat with no starboard engine power and consequently wrestling with the wheel. 

As I understand it, there is no way to adjust the cables?

Do I stick with a cable based setup or go hydraulic? Has anyone done the switch to hydraulic?

Thanks

    I had my steering cable replaced on my 2006 boat. It dramatically improved what was a stiff wheel requiring too much effort to turn. No I can turn the wheel easily even with the engine off and no power assist. It has never been this good since I had the boat. Play in the steering wasn't bad, but it is less now. I did look at a hydraulic conversion, but now realize there is nothing much to gain over a cable if it operates as it should.
