Re: Cable Steering

Yes it was a pain took a long time to work all the air out. Then let set for about 4 hours and turned both helm wheels stop to stop another 50 time to get all the air out. I wished I did this year’s ago. How it handles now is like a new boat. I used the Sea Star system, love it.

Cable Steering

Does anyone need steering cables with helm gear boxes for lower and flybridge for a 32 marinette. I converted mine to hydraulic steering.

Re: Mechanical Steering Lubrication

I just replaced the upper steering cable on my 32 Sedan, cable was 27 foot Steermaster Mark II, Marine Discounters Sandusky Ohio ordered it, Brad is extremely knowledgeable great to deal with. Had it overnighted. Not an easy task to install.
