Cost a little under a grand but worth it to know I don't have to fool with a cable system any more. Cable systems get expensive too when you have to replace them over and over. Just bad luck on my part I guess?

BR don't forget the Bro of mine that had his hydraulic system burst a hose at the motor causing him to have no steering and crashed into the Morehead City bridge, it about killed him.
