I loosen the cable and then bash it through the tilt tube with mallet against wood. You may need to chase it through the tilt tube with a dowel or metal rod. Make sure you clean the inside of the tube good, I used a 12ga shotgun brush on a drill, then install the Steersman. Do not, do not force the helm or you will be buying a new one of those....how do I know well let's just say lesson learned  |
Just wanted to say thanks for this great pc of advice. I used the shotgun brush, cleaned the tilt tube and greased, now its smooth as butter. I thought I needed to replace the cables too, but its all set now
