I am new to this sight and also boating so please excuse my "rookie like" terminology.
79' yazoo 16 ft. with a 92 evinrude 48 hp SPL
Just before heading out to the lake, i turned my steering wheel in order to get my prop properly aligned (centered). As i did so, i heard a horrible "cracking" sound. I have a rotary system... i examined under my my steering wheel and noticed that the steering cable had busted through its casing and no longer was feeding to the stern end. when turning the wheel that way (right) the cable stretches down in a U - like fashion rather then feeding through the remaining casing. I can turn the wheel to the left and the cable will rewind but the motor wont move even if i try to do so by hand. It seems as if the problem lies on the stern end...
Would i be able to fix this or should i get a new system. It has likely never been replaced. If you need further details/ info on exactly whats going on here.... please let me know. Thanks for any help and great site!
