Re: old 2 cable steering

it's easier if you start from scratch. remove the complete cable and start over. if you can't read this. send me a PM with your email, i will send direct.

Re: old 2 cable steering

ok i went back and retyped the 60 year old instructions.

installing cable on steering drum


thread tiller line thru small pass thru hoe inside drum. Pull line thru until equal lengths extend from the ends. Thread one end of line thru contoured hole in upper flanged end of drum, and opposite end of line thru rectangular hole in lower end of drum.

Wind each line 4 times around in opposite directions, by following the groves in the drum. Both lines should lead off the top of the drum at it’s center, so that as the steering wheel is turned one line wind up and the other line unwinds. Apply common adhesive tape over the assembled line to hold in place temporarily if desired.


These directions are about 60 years old. Type from original.

took about 10 to figure out how to get this here. hope it helps.

Re: old 2 cable steering

Good info, Just make sure the cable leaves the top of the drum to the first pulley on each side, I had a friend years ago redo his cable, and had it coming off the bottom of the drum, and proceeded to bump along the dock when he first launched his boat, because his steering was reversed!
