Hey Guys, I want to buy a steering cable from a reputable place, but I could not help myself from "Online Showrooming" (comparing prices). Anyhoo, this seems to be what I want for considerably less: http://www.starmarinedepot.com/seastar-ssc62-qcii-steering-cable-replacement-17.html" rel="nofollow - Steer cable My current cable has SSC6217 stamped on it. Anyone have an input? Thanks Tom Dang, I just checked the link, and it directs to the home page. If you type in SSC6217 the correct cable comes up.. I guess you can just copy and paste this: http://www.starmarinedepot.com/seastar-ssc62-qcii-steering-cable-replacement-17%27.html ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique Boat Bar 1988 Mastercraft Tristar Open Bow 1988 Mastercraft Tristar Closed Bow 1969 Seacamper Houseboat 1986 Harris Pontoon 2004 Seadoo GTX SC + Flydive Xboard 1999 Adventurecraft |

Uh, little help please. I really think my steering cable question is more important than your feeble blizzard problems, especially when it comes to saving ME money.  ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique Boat Bar 1988 Mastercraft Tristar Open Bow 1988 Mastercraft Tristar Closed Bow 1969 Seacamper Houseboat 1986 Harris Pontoon 2004 Seadoo GTX SC + Flydive Xboard 1999 Adventurecraft |

| 17' is correct. Th SSC62xx series does not appear to be correct unless someone swapped out your Big-T helm with a lesser version (Safe-T, NFB, etc). Crawl under the dash and see if you can match up your helm to pics online before you order a cable. The SSC61xx series is what crosses to the Big-T. It's ~$15 more expensive than the 61. I usually order my generic steering cables from go2marine, $105 for the ssc6117 and free shipping over $100. Might want to get a few control cables at the same time if you're due (plus pivots). |

Paging Dr. Tim......So above is a picture of the helm I have, and when I compare it to pics online, it looks like a "Big T". Here is a pic of my steering cable: http://s266.photobucket.com/user/turninggrey/media/Nautique/IMG_0982.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  What do you think? ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique Boat Bar 1988 Mastercraft Tristar Open Bow 1988 Mastercraft Tristar Closed Bow 1969 Seacamper Houseboat 1986 Harris Pontoon 2004 Seadoo GTX SC + Flydive Xboard 1999 Adventurecraft |

Interesting. Here is a thread that suggests that the 61XX line replaces both the old Morse cables as well as 62XX cables. Pretty good info for further steering cable confusion: http://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/018265.html" rel="nofollow - Teleflex I guess I can go with either the 61XX or the 62XX. ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique Boat Bar 1988 Mastercraft Tristar Open Bow 1988 Mastercraft Tristar Closed Bow 1969 Seacamper Houseboat 1986 Harris Pontoon 2004 Seadoo GTX SC + Flydive Xboard 1999 Adventurecraft |

61 and 62 are the differences in the nose of the cable where it goes into the helm. There is an adapter on your cable that allows you to screw it onto the helm the one Tim mentioned probably doesn't need an adapter to fit the Big-T. ------------- |

| Can't tell from that angle which helm you have but I like Zach's theory. If you confirm you have a Big T then I'd go with the proper cable vs using the adapter but that's just me. |

I probably screwed up, but since a 6217 came out of it, I just picked up a 6217 locally for $83. I will know tomorrow if I have a chance to put it in. ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique Boat Bar 1988 Mastercraft Tristar Open Bow 1988 Mastercraft Tristar Closed Bow 1969 Seacamper Houseboat 1986 Harris Pontoon 2004 Seadoo GTX SC + Flydive Xboard 1999 Adventurecraft |
