Rotary Steering on Whaler Montauk
A few weeks now after trying suggestions from this group: I filled
steering tube at motor with Marine grease, but still steers very, very
stiff to left and super easy to the right. So it looks like I just
need to replace the system... I will buy this one here:

I'll just take the old one out
first, but not sure what points to measure from. |

| If I remember your original post, you have a rack and pinion system
now rather than a rotary system? If the current steering is rotary, then just measure the cable from
end-to-end. If the current system is rack-and-pinion, add about a
foot or two. I don't remember how big your boat was, but the way to measure it is
to start at the steering wheel and follow the route of the original
cable. That's about the only way to do it. |

| Thanks, it is rotary, as I was told and now can see. It's a round
helm , no rack and pinion. |

| Hey, is there much difference in his choice and the one I found here:

If not I suppose I should probably go with cabellas for the known good
service reputation. I am powering a 16 foot Brockway (flat bottom
skiff) with a 25 horse, don't expect to go fast anytime soon. |
