Re: Understanding the CAPAC

Welded 3/16" new bottom on the whole hull. Holes can be patched too if you find a good welder.

Re: Understanding the CAPAC

Re: Broken steering cable

Thanks Busia. At last a tiny ray of hope! What is Steermaster? Is my cable a Steermaster cable? I assumed the M0646 meant "Morse." Which Teleflex cable worked for you? In the online pictures, the Teleflex cable has a small eye on the rudder end. How do I get from that to the 1/2" dia...

Broken steering cable

I had to do the same. I also replaced Steermaster with Teleflex. It was the fastest cheapest way to go. Had to make an adapter for the cable end but now parts are available (they use them on outboards) and I can replace the whole system for $200.But I only have one helm.

What's in a Boat's Name?

Anybody know where Hamtramack Michigan is? I was born there, and I named my boat for my Dad's Mother. Hamtramack was all Polish, and Busia is the Polish for Grandmother, which is what I always knew her as when I was little. She deserved to have a good boat named after her.
