1987 Skeeter steering issues

[imported_Warrior]

I have a 1987 18' Skeeter that has the stiffest steering you can imagine. It appears to be the cables.

Has anyone ever replaced the steering cables on one of these?
I measuerd it out to be about 11' of cable, does that sound correct?
Lastly, where would you suggest getting these cables?

Thanks for any assistanced

What kind of steering is it?
Mine has a grease fitting on part of it that allows you to grease the piston but mine is also hydraulic.
I would recommend looking at Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops, or West Marine for a new steering setup.

If the cable isn,t damaged it maybe wortH trying to clean out the 20+ years of old grease and relube. it works for motorcycle cables ad doesn,t take that long.
