Cable and pulley steering parts wanted

Now I am completing this project and most the parts are accounted for but, guess what, I am unable to locate the steering components. I need pulleys, spring, and chrome pulley blocks that are mounted on the starboard side of the steering console. These are fantastic boats and I would like to keep it as original as the day it was born. Thanks in advance for your help. Norm

Go to MAIN, Articles, Engine Rigging and Controls: http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...icle_id=81 I would follow the link in Kamie's thread for parts: http://www.whalercentral.com/forum/vi...ost_110335

Doug Russell Marine orders@dougrussell.com I haven't found helm replacements. Look on the internet - there were some on ebay but not like the ones on the BW helm starboard. I'm having mine repaired at a local shop - TIG or MIG - don't know. Repairman said that if it was aluminum he could do it but if Magnesium he can't Keep fingers crossed! I am now looking for nylon-coated tiller cable - I don't know if it is 1/4 or 5/16". On my helm pulleys is stamped 5/16 but the cable that was on the boat when I bought it was 1/4 and vinyl-covered and all cracked to heck. Good Luck with your project wardla 11' Sport 1982, 15 HP Merc 4 stroke 2001

What I did is buy 90degree coaming pulleys from Brown Tool & Machine Company (look them up on Google).. They are manufacturers and suppliers for hardware for outboard race boats which all use pulley and rope steering. When you find their site scroll down to steering parts and then to 90 degree coaming pulleys. It will add a bit of class to your 13 footer. They also come in mill (aluminum ) finish. Look at the pic. of my avatar. You can see them on the side of the console. or check my [personal page. Rich

I know I should use nylon-coated. Master Carr had galvenized wire rope that was 3/16. I ordered it but I'm still curious about where I might've found stainless or perhaps the original was galvenized. What a great site! Thanks all for sharing your knowledge! LTW 11' Sport 1982, 15 HP Merc 4 stroke 2001
