18 foot steering cable
 

I just ordered a 18 foot steering cable for my steplift cuddy does that sound like the right size to you guys ?

a tad long i think, but should be fine

17 I think would be to close

Close don't cut it with a steering cable, ask me how I know.

Ok I'll bite How do you know?

Well just hot my cable delivered and they sent me the wrong size 16 ft so I checked my cable and it's 17 ft So that's being returned and waiting for my 17 ft I hope this solves my hard steering problem I will keep you informed Thanks for all your feed back You guys a great

Cables out and waiting for my new one my question is this
Should I pack the tube with quick silver 24 c grease the put the rod in the tube or don't put any grease in the tube? Seems like a stupid question but I'm not sure which way to go

Maybe this will help...

After measuring and remeasuring when rebuilding my 19 foot skiff,the one I ordered with my new helm was 6 inches short. Bought it with the helm so I couldn't return it.

Smokeonthewater it does help but it doesn't answer my question, but thanks that's a good diagram Should I put quick silver 24 c on the rod cause I don't have that nut pluss I here that the rubber in the nut falls out after awhile
