I purchased an old neglected boat, and one of the cables on the twin cable rack and pinion system was siezed. When I removed that rack from the steering column the motor turns great...very smooth. <br />I plan to replace the steering, but that will require lifting the motor to clear the transom.<br />In the mean time (for the short term) is it safe to run this way? How necessary is the second cable normally? Is it required, or is it just there for added safety?<br />Thanks
