[QUOTE="Ebug, post: 404973, member: 11893"] Just a quick update. Sorry no pictures right now. I welded up the console and mounted the steering box and throttle. I was able to measure both the steering cable and throttle/shift cables and ordered them. They came in yesterday so I should be installing them this weekend. I will post picture after I complete that. Small rant: I cannot understand how local boat shops stay in business these days if they haven't embraced the internet sales movement. I was trying to keep my money local and went to one of the Teleflex dealers in San Antonio. Gave them the part number I needed and was promptly told that the steering cable would be $172.00 plus tax. I didn't even ask about the other two cables after hearing that price. I ordered the steering cable($86.79), throttle cable($25.75), and shift cable($25.75) from a Marina in FL and had it shipped($19.00) to my door for less than the cost of that one steering cable priced locally. I knew the local price would be more and I had committed to myself to pay more to keep it local but the prices they are charging are just out of line in this market place. That is my opinion anyhow. End rant. Rob [/QUOTE]
