In order to keep the original steering wheel I need to stick with cable and pulley steering.
This was the original set up
I've got new pulleys/cable and springs ready
I've done lots of internet looking but still have a few questions I hope someone can help with?
1 The original pulleys were just screwed to the batten where the deck meets the sides, this seems to have been OK for 50years.. All the internet info says to bolt them through but this would mess up the outside of the hull (which is only 6mm ply anyhow so not very strong) Would a couple of decent screws used with epoxy be OK?
2 I need a new bracket to attach the steering to the outboard, this will need to be custom made to project forward and down from the outboard to meet up with the cable, any ideas where I could get one made?
3 Is the original set up OK? Again all the net info seems to be different.Some say one spring only.Most set ups seem to have 2 more pulleys attached to the outboard bracket with the cable then going back to the side/transom where it ends
Thanks
