Well, I got the new rack and pinion installed. WOW, it turns like a dream and has to be as good as a brand new boat. One finger turning and I can throw the wheel lock to lock while going slow. I had to buy the tilt helm and tilt assembly at a cost of around $200 extra, over just buying a new cable for the rotary style that the boat had originally. Got them both on Ebay and saved a little. I can post a pic but there is not a lot to see. I did have to mount the rack at a 45 degree angle, because where the cable comes out of the rack it did not have enough room to allow the cable to make the 90 degree turn towards the bow. It is still tucked up in the dash and not even close to taking up any leg room.
