I've found the best pricing at boatfix.com. Used them a few times without a problem.

Thanks guys. Right now I'm looking at tilt tube (sp?) on the motor that houses the steering cable and a new steering cable/ nfb system. I have been on boatstoreusa and iboats but have not ordered from them before. BTW, what is the correct name for that tube the steering cable runs through and is there a step by step for a DIY replacement. Reason I'm looking for a replacement is my steering cable is beyond frozen an I have to pull my big V6 to get a new cable in. I beat the hell out of it so the end is scarred and will probably scratch that tube during my efforts to get it all the way out. I've got a West Marine locally but their prices are ridiculous.
Thanks,
Maury

Flounder, I believe it's called the engine tilt tube...
Also, I've used Boatstore USA and I highly recommend them. See my testimony in the links section... Suffice it to say, they are good people and I'd buy from them again.
