Does anyone know which manufacturer Lund used for steering systems in the early 80’s, so I can buy a replacement rack and pinion steering cable? If no longer available, another make of cable that will fit/ bolt in? Mine takes a 14 ft. cable.
Testing replies to my post to confirm email reply is being received.
No. Those are rotary cables for another type of boat steering box. The one for my Lund boat is a rack and pinion style. The end of the cable has an 18 inch by 1.5 inch steel box with a toothed rack inside it, and the steering box, driven by turning the wheel, has a pinion on the end that pulls and pushes the rack.
Check with Twin Cities Outboards.
If they don’t have one, they may be able to steer you (no pun intended) on finding one.
You should be able to Google 14ft rank and pinion steering cable outboard and come up w multiple options.
Here’s one, I highly recommend the no feedback system.
I did a steering cable replacement in my old bassboat. Hope yours goes easier than mine. The hard part was getting the new cables routed. This will probably be much easier in a early 80’s Mr pike. Once the cable were routed the resy of the job went rather smooth. I used the same setup as is posted by Deuces above.
