    Some interesting info in this thread. I’ve been doing cable steering for 14 years now. That may be a very short time compared to some, but it’s my entire motor boating time. (never had a boat newer than 1956).

    I have never before heard that there should only be ONE spring in the cable setup! This is very intriguing to me. I’m curious, is this "old news" to most of you? Or are there others that have been always running a dual spring (one on each side of the motor)?

    If only one is best, which side would be best for this? Left or right? (thinking engine torque here).
