Replacing helm unit & steering cable

[phatdaddy]

it seems that gofish's problem is contagious. haven't ran the boat in 3 weeks and finally get a chance with christmas gone and all the new years stuff over with, launched at the ramp and started idling away and "ping" no steering. loaded up and got it back to the house and started tear down.



this is the area i have to work in, i know some of ya'll pull the engine, but i don't need to, i just remove the rod box and pull the slack out on the deck



i went ahead and pulled the helm, but the cable failed, the ss rod broke off of the end of the cable,




while i'm at it , gonna change the throttle & gear cable also. 15 years old and the housing is starting to split.




sure dosen't take long to trash a boat......
