[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 421306, member: 15636"] OB motors have a small fin above the prop, mounted just under the vent plate at the aft-most position. This is turned to counter-act steering torque generated from the (predominantly) right-handed pitched propellers. Do jets have any such fin? If not, know that there are new cable steering systems out their that incorporate a "No Feedback" clutch into the helm unit, where torque generated from the motor-side of the cable CANNOT cause the helm wheel to turn. Look at Uflex units if you intend to upgrade. On your existing cable, if you can read the ID# on that old cable, the last 2 digits = the length, so a 'XZY12' cable would denote a 12' cable length.
