[QUOTE="VinTin, post: 492356, member: 15752"] On most of the Feather Craft boats with the tumblehome design there is not much room for the UFlex over Teleflex type systems. I've seen a few cases of hackery performed to make them fit. You can't inspect for wear in the closed systems, as far as I know. Make sure all eye pads are attached through the hull and not just anchored with wood screws in transom wood. That's been the reason for a couple of steering failures that I've seen. I've seen Dyneema rope used in pulley steering systems and from reports that I've heard it makes for a really smooth steering system. [/QUOTE]
