Cable Steering question

[ScottG76]

How do you guys feel about cable steering? It was suggested that I upgrade to rack and pinion, but I feel like it's unecessary if the everything is working. Do the cable systems tend to break if there old, or do they hold up with time?

Re: Cable Steering question

You will hear people favoring both. I prefer the more modern style. Search ebay for 'rack steering convert' and you will see some cheap.

You can also buy brand new right here on iboats.com.

Good luck
