Steering Cable

#1 Post by sharky300 » Wed Jul 08, 2015 1:27 pm

OK Everyone, I promise I am not going to post 50 questions a week... but I am just getting started, so I have one more question (For Now :)

I have searched steering cable on the forums... but everything I see points to Pontoonstuff.com as a place to get them. When I go there, it seems they do not handle them anymore. Am I crazy???

So, If not- where is the best place to go to get them, and what info do I need from my current set up to make sure I get the right one?

Thanks Again!!!

Jason

So are you looking to replace your existing steering cable? If so you'll need the lenght andy which motor mfr when you order. Several sources out there but I've bought mine thru ebay and haven't had any problem. Just make sure the seller has good feed back i.e. 99.5 or better with free shipping is what I look for.

Best of luck.

I ordered mine from Overton's. Just be sure to get the right size, I almost had a send mine back to get a longer one until my dad came up with a "creative solution".
