I looked at some seastar rack and pinion cables but they don’t seem to be the same style mounting as these so I would assume I would have to replace the helm as well regardless.
I disconnected them and tried turnin the wheel and it was still stiff as if they were still connected. The motor turns freely and near effortlessly with them disconnected.
I’m completely new to types of steering’s on boats, I recently purchased a 1983 Champion 20 foot fish/ski and the steering is really tight. Ive cleaned and greased both cables at the motor and it still takes 2 hands to turn. I would like to just replace it, I believe it’s a rack and pinion style...
