Re: Steering cable tension

[Casey Lynn]

Ya’ know….we had a discussion about this down in Winter Haven during the Naional meet. While there we saw systems that had NO springs, one spring, and two springs (mine) on single engine rigs. We questioned the owner of the rig with no springs about tilting the engine and cables jumping the spool and go the reply that it tilted just fine and had been that way for years. While I am not a proponent of no springs, to our utter amazement all of the above set-ups survived the weekend without catasrophic system failure and subsequent flaming deaths of any occupant….
