Steering(Rotary or Rack)

[Bradg]

I am in need of a new steering cable(15ft deep v with 1982 70hp
johnson). Have been looking at cable systems on this site a have
seen 2 kinds, rack steering system the same type I have right now and Rotary Steering system. Which system is better?

It's Not a question of which is Better,.........

It's a Question of which will Fit under the Dash........

Go back in with what you take Out.............

I think there is alot of room, about the size of a 24 pack of bottles.

I think rotary is better and more reliable.The ones ive installed on friends boats work well.It also has verry low torque steer compaired to the rack steering.

I had both. The rack was (is) no feedback and I like that better than the rotary. You can take your hands off the wheel anytime and it stays put.
