Sorry ! Not enough info.

I am presently running the STD jib, and have no plans to change this.

West marine did quote 3/16 Dia. Dynema @ .79 cents per foot, would this make be appropriate for the job at hand?

Thanks for your quick responses

Hi Last year My CDI Furler return line got destroyed,and it needs to be replaced.

Can anyone direct me to the diameter, length and grade for my 2001 Mac. 26 please ??

Oh, and the best price too !

Thank you .........r

Why would you want a steering system without backlash on a sailboat? Steering feedback is important. Victor I find the steering to be so light and direct that any pressure from the rudders is immediately felt on the wheel. Standing at the rear of the Mac. and grasping one of the rudders I can easil...

Under Repair and Modification check out my recent mod. to replace the old style rack and pinion, with the rotary gear system. Very easy to install and ssoo ssmmoooth!!

Ran the boat with the new Teleflex rotary steering with astounding results.

Smooth as silk she were! No slop, ie. backlash.

I purchased the 10 foot length which is longer than necessary, but gave nice gentle bends down below where it isn't seen.

Just completed insallation of T. Rotary System. Very easy to do, imho. Removing the steering wheel becomes very easy when you apply heat around the hub with $25 heat gun! By removing the rack from the pedestal end of the cable first (held onto the cable by 2 soft cast pins & retaining plate) The...

Nice thought. Who has the best deal on these..?



Thanks

Just completed the installation of my Teleflex Rotary Steering System. Easy and straightforward imho. The only modification to make was removing a 3 1/4" Dia doughnut from around the original steering wheel hole in the pedestal...Jigsaw took care of that, then drilled three- 3/8" Dia. bolt...

I am expecting my new rotary cable in on Tuesday from go2marine.com $159 incl. shipping to Alabama Part no. Teleflex SS-137-10. The folks were very helpful and informative, although they were not too clear on the Mac 26X application. Has anyone attempted to instal the rotary system in lieu of the mo...

Hydraulic is the best!!! my write up on it is here http://www.ironengineer.com/mac/galley/ (scroll down past the messy bit) It does cost a bit more, but if you've had some steering failures in strong wind you'll not regret it! Thoses teleflex monkey metal castings are flaky as Honk Kong chrome. The...

Ferd J,

Thanks for your response. The planetary gear system appears more compact than the current R&P, and because of this perhaps one should go up a foot to the 9 ft. length. Does this seem about right?


Thanks.....r

I checked out the Uflex web site and discovered they appear to offer 2 different types of replacement cable. The first is the conventional rack & pinion, the other seemed a more advanced planetary gear system. The pricing looked very similar and would like any feedback please if anyone has used ...

Not everyone owns a Heat Gun (Moms hairdrier won't cut it). I purchased one a few years ago just to help remove the steering wheel. Lowes hardware @ $ 22. At a 600 Deg. F setting the aluminum wheel hub expanded quicker than the steel shaft, and "the rest is history". After a few minutes he...

Any recommendations please on the best source for a new Steering Cable. 2001 26x . It's not at home at present so I can't say what type was installed, but would like to get something on order asap. Between Uflex and the Teleflex SS-141 is there any preference? Also, what is best, 8 or 9 feet ? Thank...
