Just like brand new. Nah, better than new.
My eyes were drawn to the correctly installed steering. Very few people get that right. Now for the critical view—a non-swivel pulley on the port side will prevent that cable twisting. Sorry for the negative comment on a 1000% perfect job.
Frank, don’t worry about the negative comment, it will only make the boat better for next year!
It’s funny you mentioned that because it was bugging the heck out of me as well. It only started getting twisted when I got the boat in the water and started to raising and lowering the motor. When I got home from vacation I picked up another original OMC set. The quality of the old original pulleys is so superior to the plastic stuff they are selling now.
Thanks for the compliment on the steering spring arrangement. I learned that from some guy called Frank on the AOMCI boards. When I got the boat it was rigged wrong with the usual two springs. I had read all of your posts over the years (complete with pictures) of the correct way to set up cable steering.
I knew I would be banished from the club if I didn’t set it up correctly!
Thanks,
Bob D
