Evinrude 1977 70hp - Throttle Issues

[Guest rzep]

$600 does sound a little excesive.

Definately get a few quotes.

$600 is over the top i feel (don,t know the exact system) morse taper or cable

you can probably change it all yourself (i did on mine boat )

just buy parts from the boating outlets and change.

spinning a few spanners can save you lots sometimes

if you wanted a hand i may be able to help steer you in the right direction

as i see u used the picnic point ramp you are not to far away from me.

PM if interested

Hi just put a new cable in my 5.05 cruisecraft h/c 110 envinrude cost me $130.00 for the cable and very easy to do $600 is over the top. tricky.

Installed new steering cable & helm yesterday. Perfect steering now and only cost $224. Cheaper than the quoted $600. The only thing is te cable was about 30 centimetres too long, which shouldn't really matter. The next size down would have been either just right or a bit of a tight sqeeze.

With a saving of $376 to spend a few hours mucking around and getting cut hands

etc is alot.

Some of the extra can go on a few beers or orange juice what ever takes your fancy whilst doing it or after.

Well done

It sounds like your fully back on the water now

and time to fish.
