Hello,
I have 1990 Ski Nautique. I put it in the water a few days ago after storing it in my garage over the winter. The steering felt a little stiffer then I remember but your could maneuver the boat just fine with some slight effort to turn the wheel.
Took my 9 yo for the first ski run of the season, again after dropping him by our swim raft I went to make a turn towards the dock. When I turned the wheel I felt a Click or snap and then the wheel would just free spin without actually turning the rudder .
I swam it back to the lift and took a closer look... the wheel will just freely spin and make a clicking sound, no movement of the rudder at all..
Do I have an issue with the helm, steering head, or a snapped steering cable? Any advice to repair it?
