[C38] Throttle cable and rudder cable

[Max Soto]

Hey Patrick,

What broke at the pedestal???? and were are you pulling it from??

What you see attached to the steering quadrant (donut shaped device!) is
not a single wire, are two 36" lenghts of wire attached to a 24" lenght of
chain that goes up and down the steering wheel shaft, were a pinion is
located to pull the chain and move the rudder, if something broke, you have
several options, like wire, chain, the small hackles that attaches the
chain to the wire, etc...


Also, the sheave base under the pedestal, inside the engine room, broke in
pieces and left Phil (if I remember correctly) without steering...    So
check it all around..


If the cable is loose enough, you might be able to put it back on the
groove, just be careful.

Hope this helps!
