In Response To: Re: Steering (JP Miller)

I would suggest you disconnect the cables at the rudders and turn your wheel the usual 2 1/2 turns you spoke about. See how far the cable has extended. If it comes out further than when it was connected, do two things: 1. Follow the cables to see if there is a collapse or bulge anywhere when under pressure. 2. Move your disconnected rudders by hand. They should move freely. If even one of them doesn't, that could be your problem. Cables work best when there isn't too much pressure put on them. The steering cables take a much bigger beating over time than the shift and throttle cables do. If the disconnected cables don't extend further than they did with your 10-15 degree turn, then I'd guess your problem is in your hub. Good luck. Walter
