This ...The SeaStar Solutions XTREME steering cable was designed specifically for XTREME helms. This cable offers lower backlash and is more efficient than a standard steering cable. It provides the lowest ease of effort, a close "fit" of the core to liner for lowest lost motion.
This concept provides the tight fit of core to liner yet allows area for lubrication. A quick connect feature on both the steering cable and spent travel tube allow for quick and easy installation. - Xtreme Steering cables feature a super tough HDPE jacket for the ultimate protection against the elements.
Oil tempered lay wires provide superior strength and performance. Additionally, a long-wearing HDPE liner is ultra soft and lubricated for life. - Features: Based on the current industry leading Xtreme technology; Splined ridges on the inner liner allow close contact with core; With minimum contact the core glides freely; Tight fit for minimal lost motion; Reduced friction for extended cycle life; Robust construction support highest steering loads in the mechanical range; Click to Download XTREME Steering Cable Installation Instructions - How to Measure Steering Cables "Measure Twice.
Order Once." Replacement of Existing Cable: If possible, find the part number stamped on the plastic jacket of the old cable. If you removed the old cable, measure for the replacement cable as follows:For Rotary Steering Cable Replacement, Measure Existing Cable as follows: Measure plastic cable jacket ("Y" dimension, shown in above drawing) in inches, add 18′′, and round up to next foot. Order that length cable.
- New Installation: Measure cable routing path from wheel center line to engine connection, as follows: A = Center line of wheel to gunwale (or deck, if routed downward), B = Dash to transom, C = Gunwale to centerline of cable connection at centered tiller. - For Cable Installations through the Engine Tilt Tube: Add A, B & C + 6′′, then round up to the next foot. Order that length cable.
- For Cables Mounted to Transom, Splashwell or Stringer: Add A, B & C, then subtract 6′′ and round up to the next foot. Order that length cable. - TYPICAL SINGLE STATION ROUTINGA single-cable, starboard drive push-pull mechanical cable system is shown in this diagram.
- Cable routings (such as those found on pontoon boats) may vary from this drawing. Confirm length by laying a garden hose or similar object) along cable path and measure run from wheel to engine connection point.
