Fisher Avenger Rigging Randy, I have just discovered
your site and must say it is very kind of you to take time out of your day
to answer these questions. I have a 1999 Fisher
18 Sport Avenger (Aluminum Vee, actually 19'-0") with a 1999 115
Mercury 2-stroke. Currently I can achieve approximately 50 mph at
WOT. I am unsure the actual tach reading is accurate at 4800 rpm.
I decided to purchase a CMC manual jackplate with 5 1/2" setback, to
gain a bit at top end speed. The current steering is rack &
pinion. My Question: Since this boat is
aluminum with a high transom the only option I see is to replace the
steering cable with the extra length required. The issue is, I would
have to drill another hole in the transom to achieve the proper bend
radius of the steering cable when I extend it to match with the new
setback of 5 1/2". Have you ever run
across this situation? If so any suggestions on properly connecting
my steering cable would be appreciated. Regards, Jim, The
aluminum boat builders don't give us much extra cable so yes, you will
have to buy the longer one. Drill the new grommet hole and you should be
good. We do the same at our shop.
Please submit whatever questions you have to IHRTechTalk@yahoo.com. All questions and answers selected will be displayed on this page as they come in. Note: though all boaters are welcome, priority may be given to I.H.R. members. Randy can not be held responsible for any advice given. Though his information and expertise is second to none, he has no control over what you do with your boat. It is up to you to boat safely and act responsibly, and his advice is only to be used as a guidance for your high performance boat/motor of which you are the one responsible for the risks involved. Thanks,
