[QUOTE="MDCrappie, post: 507097, member: 160"] The helm and cable work like a worm gear winch. Think of "spring" at the end of the cable like a screw. When the gear turns each of the teeth are pushed in the spacing between the springs which then either pushes or pulls the cable depending on direction. Of course over time the gear wears and the spacing between them essentially gets bigger. Now you are trying to put the bigger spaced gear into the small new spring. Like Tony says you are damaging the new cable already. [/QUOTE]
