No Feedback Steering

Does the part behind the wheel just turn off the cable? I think I am going to get the higher gear ratio which should help with the torque problem. I was thinking of getting it at EB marine about 125.00. for the unit behind the wheel. Hope I don't get to many knots on my head from this project. Thanks for your help

The cable disconnects from the head . All you have to do is loosen the nut holding the cable and turn the wheel . The cable will then come out.

Thanks that what I thought. I started the job today and didn't get to far. Took off the nut holding the wheel on and the wheel seems to be frozen to the shaft. I put some penertrating oil on it and will give it a try tomorrow. I have a small puller but not sure it will fit. Have any tricks for freeing it up besides the usual heat oil and a puller.

I don't know of any . I was lucky , mine came off easy . Let us know how you like the new system .

Well its all installed and seems to work fine. Wont know for sure until sea trials in a couple of months.

use some heat and tap the shaft. the shaft is tapered and when you get the wheel off your going to say to yourself what was keeping it on, maybe when you put the wheel back coat it with neverseize and dont lose the key thats that half round thing that makes the wheel turn the shaft youll see what im talking about. i also have so play in my wheel about 2 inches does anybody have that too with the nfb system

TO GET THE STEERING WHEEL OF LOSEN THEN NUT FLUSH WITH THE SHAFTTHEN USE AN AIR HAMMER RIGHT ON TOP IT WILL COME RIGHT OFF, AS FAR AS SWAPING OUT THE HELM IT IS POSSIBLE AS LONG AS IT IS THE NEWER TYPE BEZEL TO HOLD THE STEERING BOX
