Finished the steering cable install today and i took a couple of pics to show how I keep it working well.
The bellows is neoprene and last forever. It keeps water off the tube and rod and also keeps grease form dripping down into the well.
On the cable side I added the "steering buddy". It lubricates the internal of the cable not in the tilt tube. It increases the life of the cable. I am powered with a 175 rude and there is alot of torque. The mechanical steering is tough but works just fine for me ..and it builds .
