It’s a good idea to replace your boat steering cables with the same type as originally installed. This is not only a sound practice, but also makes the installation process that much simpler. It may even be possible for a determined DIYer to install. Wholesale Marine stocks Teleflex cables for every type of steering system and Teleflex and NFB Pro Steering System Kits making it easier than ever to perform this task. If yours is an older craft and you wish to upgrade your steering system, do your homework, then make your decision as your boat will handle differently and may present a bigger challenge than some recreational boaters may be willing to accept. Whenever you change any steering component, whether it is a boat steering wheel or boat steering cables, be sure to water-test your new system with care until you become familiar with the new way your craft maneuvers. here
When you are replacing your boat’s steering system it may be time to upgrade or to change out your boat’s steering wheel as well. While this component usually lasts the life of the vessel, changes in maneuverability have brought about changes in the size of ship steering wheels. Today’s wheels are more compact with a tighter steering roll radius and therefore take up less space in your dashboard area or wheelhouse. Some are made from non-corrosive materials while others maintain the classic appeal of bright chrome over stainless steel.
An important component to any vessel is its steering system. Boat steering wheels and boat steering cables , however, are not part of any routine maintenance advisories. We just take these hard working parts for granted until they age and require replacement. That birthday varies with each boat, however Wholesale Marine advises that when your boat no longer handles with the same ease it once did, give us a call.
Whatever your choice, Wholesale Marine carries a great selection of ship’s wheels by Sea-Dog , Teleflex , SeaStar and JIF .

Nylock nuts like those on the support bracket are meant to be used only once. If you take them off for maintenance, replace them with new ones. more
The manufacturers of these systems will typically supply all the nuts, bolts, and other associated hardware to facilitate the installation. You can be sure that they've engineered all of this to be certain that every part of the system can handle the expected loads. Hardware like this often comes in different grades with varying tensile strength properties, and there's a big difference between grade-5 and grade-8 hardware. Don’t substitute anything for what is supplied. This is not something you want to take any chances with.
As part of any new helm pump installation, make sure that the hydraulic fill port is located on top to facilitate any air bleeding upon filling the system. Also, installation instructions may include nut and bolt tightening torque values, as well as warnings about overtightening. You will need a torque wrench or two if you're doing a new install, one calibrated to measure inch-pounds and the other in foot-pounds. more
The illustration above shows nylock nuts securing the steering shaft at either end of the support bracket. If either of the nuts were to fail, the cylinder assembly could come loose, which would mean an immediate loss of steering control. So remember to replace those nuts with new ones if you have to remove them for any service work on either the steering control or the outboard engine. more
