Anyone got an old 2 cable helm/cables/etc for an outboard laying around they want to part with? I have a boat project that has a busted helm. Id like to get it up and going on the cheap. Hoping someone out there has upgraded to hydraulic or something.

Going on a 200hp merc, 14' steering cables Im pretty sure.

This what you're looking for? I had to cut the cables to get them out. I have the two tubes and the arm for the rear but it is Jonnyrude stuff and not sure it would work for you.

I can't find the helm. At least it isn't where I thought it would be of I still had it. The one sprintcvx posted is a different version than the standard morse/teleflex rack system. The one sprint posted is the same one I have now. I got tired of replacing both cables and rack of the teleflex system when one would get too much water inside it and rust solid.

Does you system have 1 rack with 2 cables coming out of it or one rack per cable?

My rack looks like this one. It seized, and fell to pieces while I was unloading it. Fortunately it didn't do it while I was driving it.

If Pwerwagn doesn't want it, shoot me a PM...I could use a spare.
