Vector Steering Hello, I just bought a 1982
vector with a Johnson 200, it only has single cable rack and pinion style
steering, its squirrelly as hell, I want to put dual cable, what
inexpensive brand would you rec, rotary or rack and pinion style, for the
time being how do you get the play out of a single cable unit, it has
aprox, 1 inch both ways, a total of 2 inchs, once I get it up on the pad i
cant control it. It chines bad, how do you drive thru it, will it come
back on decell, it is a 17' vector maybe you could furnish me with some
part numbers for the steering kit, keep in mind I really want to stay in
the inexpensive range, for now. I am running a 24 pitch raker prop, the
motor is in the second hole from the top, I raised it all the way up and
it doesn’t chine as bad but the motor buzzer comes on, the boat pulls
better in the second from the top hole, but after it gets on the pad it
feels like it is gonna flip sideways, any help you could give would be
greatly helpful, what rpm should the motor run at full throttle, and what
speed could I expect, I also have a 23 by 14 1/4 and a 21 by 14 1/4. Thank You Very Much
Tim, Get
the single cable out of the boat. Teleflex makes a rack and pinion system
that is about 475 retail. It is a nice piece. The 24 raker should run 6000
plus if you can drive it. This is where the twin cable steering comes in.
You can't get the play out of the single cable, it just can't be done.
Make sure the water pump is good, as it sounds marginal. You should have
no problem with water at the height you are trying. Take it slow and learn
all the quirks of the boat.
