Re: Steering change
Teleflex/Morse systems come in rotary and rack and pinion for smaller outboards. The system is a cable within a sheath (hollow cable/tube) and (it) attaches to the engines clamp brackets, (locked in place with a large nut).... mounts through a large hole in each bracket just above the top of the transom. <br /><br />The sheath deadman's to the clamp brackets and the center cable has a rod on the end which normally proturdes out the port side of the port clamp bracket (since most helms are on the starboard side). Attaching to this rod is another rod that attaches to something (lift handle, bracket) that is connected to the engine.<br /><br />Rotating the steering wheel pushes or pulls on the center cable/rod which moves the engine back and forth.<br /><br />Rack and pinion No Feedback Systems (NFS) are very popular and very nice. BTDT<br /><br />Key to success is nice smooth slow sweeps for the cable. No sharp turns. Much more positive than cable steering.<br /><br />HTH<br /><br />Mark
