Need to replace the teleflex rotary system in my 16ft Crestliner with 70hp Johnson. Cable is broken I believe. With trim up, you can have the motor laid over to one side and turn the wheel. It will bring it to top dead center and then the motor goes slack falling to the opposite side. What is...
Wife and I went fishing yesterday and we're getting ready to leave when I fired up the boat (16ft Crestliner with 70hp Johnson) and stuck it in gear the steering popped and went limp. The wheel doens't do anything now. I looked under the console and I think it only uses one cable. Is there a...
I have recently put the livewell back in and got everything plumbed back up and wired. My wife and I catch and release (not fish-eaters) so we have never used the livewell. To be honest I couldn't tell you if I ever tried the switch before rehooking everything back up. I have 3 hoses running to...

I just got a new boat yesterday (78 Crestliner) with a 70 Johnson of about the same age. The trim wants to work...you can hear it whine when I hit the switch but not much happens. The rams move but it's like they don't catch on something. Fluid? Need the line bled? Any help would be greatly...
