Steering cables, Whew, Done!!!
Not that I want to have to do that again for like forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uncovered the boat this spring to find that I could just barly turn the steering. Well, it's a 13 year old 295 Stratos so I figured It may be about time anyway for new cables. It was a little stiff last year. We, maybe a little more than a little stiff! Anyway I couldn't find any #'s on the cable so I called Stratos boats and they were kind enough to tell me what length to order. Even if they were wrong!!!! They said 14' but they were 13'!!! I had to cut the ends off the old cables to get them pulled out, Then liked to never got the new ones back in even though I fed a rope through when I pulled the old ones! Took me and a buddy five hours to complete the job, but the steering is smooth as silk now. Ya, I know, I probably was flirting with disaster last year but money was tight! I could not move either of the old cables after I removed them at all!!!
