INSTALLING THE STEERING CABLE SYSTEM

Parts and tools you are going to need:

Assembled pull-pull wheel Safety glasses/goggles

Two clevises (VS1 Kit) Soldering iron

Two 2-56 nuts (VS1 Kit) Solder

Two threaded couplers (VS1 Kit)

Two 1/4" lengths of fuel line (VS1 Kit)

Rotary tool w/cutoff wheel

1. Position the pull-pull wheel so that the Futaba wheel is

facing up and the cable is towards the back of the boat. Slide

the cable through the small holes in the back of the output.

Place the pull-pull wheel on the steering servo and align the

wheel so the cable is centered on the servo.

2. Screw the nuts onto the threaded couplers, then the

couplers onto the clevises to the point where you have an

even amount of threaded portion showing both front and

back. It’s a good idea to install the short length of fuel line

onto the clevis at this time so as not to forget.

3. Clip the clevises to the outermost holes on the engine’s tiller

arm. Make sure the servo wheel and tiller are centered. Then,

place a mark on the cable so you know where to cut it.

4. Using a rotary tool and safety glasses, cut the cable on

the marks. Install the end of the cables into the threaded

couplers and solder them together. Repeat this on the other

side. Slip the short lengths of fuel tube up over the clevis.

This will help keep the ends from popping off in the event of

a blow off or rollover.

Grimracer says: When installed, the

cables will touch the fuel tank mount.

This is OK and will not cause any binding

in the system.

This is also a good time to place a small amount of cable

grease on the steering cables and on/off wire where they

exit the output guide.
