The Mercruiser electrical shift part 71919A2 (to control steering) on my 1978 28 ft Fairbanks Sedan Bridge needs replacing.This no- longer- manufactured part has not been obtainable (though is inadvertently seen on some supplier web sites..then not available at check out)It appears I will need to change to a manual or hydraulic steering cable or system. Has anyone completed this change for inboards of this general size? Was it an easy or difficult ,major or minor job? Any recommended systems or cable brands? + and - of manual vs hydraulic? Thank you for your thoughts !
 
Hi Moon,

I realize this is an old thread but did you ever find a replacement?? I have the same installation on my 32 Ft Fairbanks.
Thanks
