Steering is starting to get tight and I tried the cheap route....take the steering cables off the motor, clean, and re lube. Motor swings free with the cables off so I know that is not the tight point. Helm is good, cables though, yeah they are getting to that point that they need to go.

Any recommendations for a local shop that has just the rack and cables? I found a few complete systems with helm, but would prefer not to pay North of $400 for a kit that has a helm that I won't use.

Your local Orielly auto parts store either has in stock or can order Teleflex cables. Just get the number off of your old cable(s).

I'll check them out. I believe the cables are permantely mounted to the rack though from what I could cipher out on the Teleflex/SeaStar site.

I found a new rack and dual cable system that should drop in for not a horrible price. I checked on line and found them all priced close to what I found this one at. Hope to get it Friday and install on Saturday. I would rather be fishing, but will feel better when this is done.

Update...

Install went smooth. Steering feels like new. Need to add a few tie straps to support the cables as insurance and it will be lake ready.
