    Steering Reversed, Lookout, Help!

    I just installed a new Teleflex Marine 13ft Boat Steering System 13213 Rotary on my boat, looks good, feels good, only thing is, the motor turns the wrong way, is there a way to reverse the steering in the helm. I don't think I could ever safely get use to it being backwards, some of you...

    Question about Teleflex NFB

    I currently have a 19ft Hydra Sport Aero Cat150 with a GT150. The old Detmar dual cable steering system is completely froze up. I am considering installing the Teleflex(single) Rotary NFB on it. But keep in mind I'm a putter not a run and gunner. This boat will probably never see WOT. Any...

    1986 GT150 compression

    I recently recieved the motor (along with a 86 19ft HydraSport) from a friend who thought it had a broken rod because the motor wouldn't turn over without locking up. He parked the boat in 2003. I got the boat home and figured out the lower unit gears were trashed, and the motor itself turns...

    Detmar dual steering cable blues

    I recently recieved this boat from a friend who thought he blew the engine up 5 years ago, after getting it home I figured out it was just the gears in the lower unit. Anyway, it has a Detmar dual cable rack and pinion steering unit. Both cables are froze up. I have removed the complete...
