    1997 Ski steering cable replacement

    We just replaced the steering cable and the steering feels stiff. Is it possible we have it twisted 180 degrees?

    Most likely it's the rudder. You need to pull it out, clean all the old grease out, add new grease and put it back.

      Agree with Charles. Check the rudder without the cable attached. Same with the helm.

      Not sure what you mean by "twisting 180 degrees". Does the 97 have rack and pinion?
