[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 492308, member: 3278"] [B]Your marina would not touch it because they probably have no clue about it. I currently run both styles in my boats. My older boats (like yours) run cable. I run it up to and including my 1960 Glaspar G3 with a 1960 Evinrude 75hp V4. Plenty reliable enough for twin set-ups as well. These cable systems when set up properly and the pulleys are nice and free are super nice steering systems with zero slack and very easy to turn. As far as reliability? these systems are still current systems in a lot of single engine APBA racing. Pretty much bulletproof with occasional maintenance. About the time the clear covering over the cables makes it time for replacement cables is when I go in and check the pulleys, etc. The shrouded pulleys eliminate the possibility of jumping by the way. Anyone who has done these systems should know that. It's Your money!! [/B] [/QUOTE]
