[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 244739, member: 6937"] Excellent. Now, if you ran this idea past the techs at Teleflex, (using the 6400 series cable with the jetboat steering helm) they'd tell you that you need to use the jetboat steering cable. Well, again, the problem with that is that the jetboat steering cable only has 3 inches of travel. Put that on your boat, and it'll have the steering response of a **** barge. I know this because that's the type of cable I initially used on my boat. A waste of time, effort, and money. #-o So, don't buy the cable/helm combination they offer. Buy the helm separately, then use the 6400 series cable. It'll require some modification and tweaking to make it work, as I explained earlier, but you'll find that when you get into building a custom boat, a lot of things have to be modified to make them work.
