Helm Replacement

I was looking thru the Teleflex catalog on this site and only saw helms with cables.

My steering cable is new and does not need to be replaced. but I would like to up grade to a NFB.

Are these available with not cable? This is for and 18" trihull with a V4 O/B.

Thanks, Mike
 
Mike,

You mentioned that you have cables, but is it Rotary steering, or Rack and Pinion?

I don't know the answer to your question yet, but I can look into it once I find out what you have. Teleflex seems to always suggest replacing helm and cable but that is generally when one or the other is worn out.

Thanks.
 
Andrew,
Thanks. It is a rotary. It and the cable were installed new in '09 and not many hours as it is in restoration. The NFB was not available with the cable length I needed in the time frame that I wanted. The system is smooth and positive.

The problem is that it is too easy and the trim tab does not negate torque at all speeds. The engine torque is too heavy, but enough that I am continually having to correct. Even on the trailer, two fingers is all that is needed to make the motor go stop to stop.

Mike
