I LOVE this forum!, you guys are awesome. Thanks for all advice given. It looks like I'll have to shop around a bit. The thought of having this motor hit full lock at wot is terrifying. On a dual cable system (not pulleys) what makes it zero feedback? do they push and pull together or opposite? My father was a commercial long line and gill net fisherman in England, he lost steering at speed when the cable snapped and was almost thrown out of the boat. Scary stuff for sure. I had a 15' ?? many moons ago with a 115 merc on pulleys, had it as tight as possible, but at wot maybe 50-55 mph it would twist back and forth against the springs. Seems absolutely crazy now!
The yellow one is me and the green one is the wife after telling her the cost of hydraulics!

I was the yellow one as well....but luckily (or unlucky depending on how you look at it) my wife was on the boat when the cable snapped. Gave me a bit of extra leverage.

HAHAHA! For a brief second I thought about telling Mrs. Blue that the repair bill on my engine was $600.....then take the extra $400 and invest in a new rod and reel....like I said, it was a very, very brief second.

I just bought a new $400 dollar Electric reel for Cod fishing.
I own a double lot, so hose address is one street and the back yard (shed) is another street, I have sent to shed and she never the wiser

There is a clutch system inside the helm behind the dash that makes it no-feedback...
