That is what I was looking for. OMC went with Tru-ster’s push pull cables as they seemed to be more flexable and adaptable to many different situations. Tru-ster was very popular until OMC’s competition put them out of business. Fox River’s Duotrol had the advantage of only stocking one size of cable. The rotating rods they used along the sides of the boat could be cut to any length by the dealer. OMC’s 12 and 13 foot cables were so popular in the mid west that a shortage of them accured in June and July for several years. So although Tru-ster went out of business, Teleflex, who supplied there cables, prospered. . . 😎
