[C38] Throttle cable and rudder cable

[Steve Smolinske]

Patrick, you can pull it down, see if the end is still usable to
reattach to the shifter arm, no need to have a local yard make a new one
they are available off the shelf in standard lengths.

Max,

The shift lever was loose and would not change gears.  I removed the
compass to find the cable attached to the metal sleeve on the shifter
arm separated from the metal sleeve.  I can see the cable and wonder if
I should put it down (from inside the boat) or try to pull it up.

 

I called a local chanderly and they can make a new one.  They want the
old one to determine length.

 

Patrick

	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!

	Mine broke at the pedestal....right after the metal sleeve.  I
try to pull it out but it doesn't want to come out.  Shall I just pull
harder.
	
	I also had the good fortune of loosing control of rudder.  I
looked and found the cable that is supposed to wrap around donut-shaped
device with grooves in it does not have the cable in the grooves.  Is it
OK to put a screw driver under cable and have someone turn wheel.  I
hope this would snap it back into track on donut..
