[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 411490, member: 3278"] Cable steering is just fine. I use it in my vintage boats and we used it and still use it in several race boat classes. Inspect the cable and replace if the outer casing is shot. Very cost effective steering. Engine is just about bulletproof. Anyone who disagrees does not know these engines. Ignition should be looked at and adjusted with new condensors as a bit of added insurance. If the coils have any cracks replace them as well. Water pump. Replace. Replace the entire pump if the housing is grooved. Save the old housing as a spare. Gear oil should be checked for water. Most common cause of water is the shift rod O-ring. Would run additional oil always. This is the first year of production that allowed 50:1 ratio however piston technology was ancient by todays standards and wear will be accelerated with that ratio. Oil is cheaper than powerheads and powerheads are not plentiful....oil is. [/QUOTE]
