76 Sanger Custom Sprint

[Tresguey]

i took my steering and reverse cable off to do some maintanance. went to the store real quick and when i came back they were gone! someone jacked my used cables. frickin pissed me off. anyone know what the length of them should be? and sugjestions on a maker? stuff like this pisses me off.

[sanger rat]

Wow! That sucks. I would get ahold of Squirtin Thunder. I'm sure he knows.

[Oldsquirt]

That really sucks!
You actually have two problems with the steering cable. First is obviously the length. More importantly you need to know what make and model steering system you have. Bad part is that replacement cables are no longer available for some of the systems in use back then.
Reverse cable should be a standard 43BC. Just need to figure out the length.

[Tresguey]

well i know that my steering was a rotory style system. i hope i can find one soon. i guess i'll try Prime Marine. the company i work for does business with them. maybe i can get a deal.

[Red Horse]

I had a steering issue and had to replace it all. Plus I have a left hand drive and the cable went left. New helm would not fit so I had to go right with it and get a longer cable. Might just be easier to go new. And I think you will find that new cable wont fit your old helm. :boxed:

I will measure mine when I get off work today. It should be the same. Mine is a 82 custom sprint. I will get back to you with lengths and ahich cable it is. Hope this helps.

[Tresguey]

thanks Tim that will really help.

[Tim_T]

The forward reverse cable is a 43bc. Mine measured 14ft. Let me know if you need anything else.

[Tresguey]

thanks Tim that will work out great. anyone use teleflex instead of morse? and what do you think of them?

[Oldsquirt]

Teleflex bought Morse.
Did you figure out what make and model steering you have?
Did Tim T measure his cable from end-to-end or just the length of the housing? Need to measure total length.
Here's a plug. Call RexMarine for the cables. :D

[Tresguey]

see you learn something new everyday. i did not know that. as far as how ut was measured i don't know. i wonder if i gave Sanger a call if they could answer my question. i guess i will give it a try though.

[b's sanger]

[DeputyDawg]

I have a used 156" Morse 43BC forward/reverse cable in working condition with all the ends and nuts and stuff if you need one cheap to get by for a while. Let me know or PM me your phone number.

[Squirtin Thunder]

Change the rotory system to a rack system. Much easier to maintain. I did it and mine workks great. Got it at Rex.

[TRG]

i have never used a rack system. how is the steering? my rotory felt pretty good to me. anyone have a take on that? thanks Squirtin Thunder that helps alot! by the way there is a Sanger get together sept 17th. any Sanger owners going?

[NELSON#109]

ive always used racks to replace rotary. ive been using hardin cables from cp performance. the prices are as good if not better than most, and the quality is much better. it's only a small $$$ differance from a cable to a complete steering system w/ the hardin cables, so why not go all new. just make sure you measure them corectly. btw, that is really retarded of someone to rip used cables, carma will get them.

[Tresguey]

yeah i know karma will get them i just hope i see them on ebay! im sure they will be a local pick up. and you damn right i will win them!!!!

[DeputyDawg]

Hey Tresguey, do you want this Morse forward/reverse 43BC cable and fittings I have....It's cheap if you need it, if you are going to buy new anyway I can hang on to it for someone who doesn't have the $$$ for a new one. Oh ya, it is the 156" or 14ft cable.

[Squirtin Thunder]

Post a pic of your boat !!!

[Tresguey]

thanks DeputyDawg but i just bought the cables i need. i will post a pic of my boat when i get home. it's still in the primer stage i have the paint i just can't decide on a design to drop on it yet. the colors will be mostly white then i have a HOK kandy blue and a yellow. but i still have fun with it in its primer state. in the next couple of weeks is when i plan to spray it though.

The rack is just a simpler system, less parts to wear out. Good luck on putting it back together. Looking forward to seeing another Sprint.
