  • mechanical steering conversion and adapter

    Greetings fellow boaters:

    after a helm pump failure on my hydralic teleflex seastar steering system, I decided to convert over to a mechanical system because of much lower price. my choice was the teleflex "safe-t-qc" unit which in its own advertising states that it is a complete unit. which is somewhat misleading also. its docs state that I will need some type of adapter from my specific motor manufacturer (yamaha)to complete the steering connection, but gives no specs. my motor is a an early 90's (not sure) 150 hp v6 outboard with power tilt / trim. does anyone know what these adapters are called and where they may be obtained? am learning BOAT stands for "break out another thousand". amen. thanks...

    your helm seized due to moisture ? i would go to ebay and pick up a good used one. from hydraulic back to cable you will be greatly dissappointed in my opinion, unless you get some great system that has zero feedback.
