Yup, off Asbury Park, ocean, steering goes pop, goodbye.

Waited 3 hours for SEATOW, but that's another story.........

Shorted out something too. Not the best of fishing days.

Repair planned for next week.

hydraulic or cable?

Had a cable pop on the lake running about 25 mph. She took a hard right and was able to get off plane before I hit a dock. Thank goodness I wasn't running 40+. Replaced with another cable, that one got goofed up too, so went hydraulic after that. It has been worth the $

Once when I had a steering cable break I lashed a boat hook to the motor and kept going w tiller steering

Another time the steering cable failed on my 10' jet boat so I disconnected it at the nozzle and kept going... I steered by moving my body weight side to side.

tow boat? we don't need no stinking tow boat... lol

I wrote a complaint and submitted it to SEATOW, plus called them and posted on Bass Barn.

No joke...... waited a total of 3 hours while the tow captain originally told me 1 hour.
