The steering cable went bad in my 1988 Lund Tyee. The boat has a 2005 Johnson 115. Any specific brands I should look at or places to buy one? I want to replace it myself to save some money. Almost any input is appreciated.

thats easy, take your boat down to stubs marine and trade it in!!!! or we could duct tape cook to your motor and have him use his legs to steer while were out on pool 4. Oh by the way hes in your boat.
Your first post and your already a smart 
. At least you finally became a man and signed up. And no…he is in Keith’s boat.

Teleflex. Get the No Feedback.

i’ve replaced mine on a trip to winnie..not a huge issue call local boat dealer with the above info..boat and motor should run about $ 100 (make sure to keep the old cable..great rigging tool)a of case of beer and one these smartass’s who keep replying to you…should take about 2 hours..take your camera phone pictures of how [censored] is hooked up crack a beer and have at it
hey thanks joemama, he would have only got a 12 pack 
They are not to bad to replace, just time consuming. Save your money and try to replace 
it yourself.
are we talking busch light ???
Is their a way to take the play out of your steering ,anyone ?
I replaced my Telex cable in my 1987 Lund Renegade and it was super easy to run, but a little tricky to connect. I agree with the idea of taking pix before removing old cable. Also make SURE your new cable is the SAME LENGTH as your old one. Too short is an obvious problem, but too lond ain’t much better. You cannot just coil up the extra and connect it. I also agree witht the no feedback system. My 1987 would turn so easily that you had to keep both hands on the wheel at full throttle. The no feedback is much easier on the forearms.

You just don’t have a clue do you……Coors Light all the way.

i now have a clue… coors light no wonder you can not get anyone over to help you out..spend the extra $3 and buy some good beer..
If your cable goes through some flotation foam, shove a length of PVC pipe that is just bigger than the cable max diameter through the hole first. Makes the new cable slide through real easy.
How’d this go for you? Did you end up getting the no feedback system?
On the list of crap to do to my boat and getting mixed reviews on the no feedback. My motor really doesn’t have much torque now that the trim tab is set properly and Im starting to figure out the motor trim. It’s not that much of a price difference but curious to any opinions.
This is something I’ve been putting off too. Mine will literally go rock solid below 20°F
It’s been so long I can’t really remember. I don’t think I did. I’m pretty sure I went with the Safe-T QC system. The install was very easy. The only thing I did was put on the steering hub without reading the directions so my steering was backwards until I fixed it. It probably took me 30 minutes or less for the install.
