Depending on how bent the arm is as to whether it will be difficult

to slide out through the tilt tube that runs at the top of the mounts.

The whole operation of changing the steering cable is not hard just

a bit fiddly depending on your specific setup. The steering arm and

the cable are usually a one piece affair so you do the lot.

Great way to get to know your boat by fixing things yourself and

what with all the info on the net you can get a good idea if you are

up to it or if you should have a tradie look at it.

Go to the boating section for a look around and try asking there.

Good luck and that southerly looked to catch a few guys out.

The only say i dont check the weather forecast and thats what you get,lesson learnt.Trying to get my steering fixed to get back out there.To make matters worse i only had my girlfriend with me and her best friend.

Ended up having to put my trailer on a blokes 4wd from the boat ramp and drive down onto the beach to retrieve my boat

Hi everyone,pulled out the steering cable and replaced it with a new one from bias today,was very easy to do and saved myself the labour costs and gained some extra boat knowledge thanks for your help raiders
