For Rack and Pinion Steering System
Cable Replacement:
- Measure the existing cable as shown in the illustration.
- Measure plastic cable jacket (“Y” dimension shown in above drawing) in inches.
- Add 30″, and round-up to next foot
- Order that length cable.
New Installation:
- Measure cable routing path from wheel center line to engine connection, as follows:
- A = Center line of wheel to gunwale (or deck, if routed downward)
- B = Dash to transom
- C = Gunwale to centerline of cable connection at centered tiller.
For Cable Installations through the Engine Tilt Tube:
- Add A, B & C + 6″, then round up to the next foot.
- Order that length cable.
For Cables Mounted to Transom, Splashwell or Stringer:
