[QUOTE="cyclops2, post: 492709, member: 32141"] My springs, pulleys, corner brackets, S S braided cable. are still perfect. After 42 years of sitting in the rain everyday . May 15 to Sept. 20 every year in St. Lawrence river. There is a Steering Friction adjustment screw on the Evinrude 30 hp. Zero maintenance in those years. If a cable system ever fails in the boonies ? ALWAYS can be jury rigged to get home. Cables are STILL APPROVED in racing boats. ....You can not inspect the gear box systems insides. riveted or spot welded closed. Both systems in tin boats are excellent. [/QUOTE]
