Re: [OMC-Boats] Tru-course Steering

Was that $65.00 an eBay "buy it now" transaction?  I've seen them range from about $169.00 and up.

I have a 19' TideRider--the 18 cable is a close (but correct) fit. 

I have everything out of the boat (including the floor and stringers) at the moment--so I don't have any good pics to pass along.  I took out the cable system and just did some minor machining (to match) the tru course pulleys to the pulley stuff.
The intermediate housing parts mated right up once I took off the 'bobbin' (for lack of a better term)

Just hope to be able to keep the tru course cable properly lubricated so it will last awhile---Don't think I will ever get another deal like I got on it (Paid $65 with shipping on ebay for the part used)
