BenLubbs Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Does anyone happen to know a replacement part for the steering cable on a Slickcraft 235SS. I looked over mine tonight and the only number I saw was American Mercury 48226 which comes up with no results in a Google search. Any help would be appreciated. The boat is a '74.
Line Dancin Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Ben i searched a few different ways for that and i found one post on iboats. Looks like boath answers say to just get a whole system. http://forums.iboats.com/boat-topics-questions-not-engine-topics/steering-cable-replacement-help-360276.html
Reel Screwd Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I bet if you ran it to wolfs they would set you up...not sure if you ever been there but they have a ton of stuff
BenLubbs Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Never heard of it before Shannon, where/what is it?
Line Dancin Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 They are in benton harbor. Wolfs is a pretty cool place.
SeaCatMich Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Wolf's Marine is a huge warehouse in Benton Harbor that has practically anything that you might want for a boat -- they sell boats and outboards too. Not much fishing tackle but lots of everything else. Both new and used, manufacture overstock, buy outs of other companies... When I lived in St. Joe with the boat it was great to be so close to get what I needed but I learned to never take a credit card. Great family owned business too. Waren Wolf is the owner but his brother, mother, father and sister can be found at anytime helping out. His brother is Winn Wolf. Winn and his wife, Angela, are active participants in the Tournament Trail (Win-n-Angel is their boat). Wolf Marine's web page: http://www.wolfsmarine.com/I have been a customer since the early '70s. This coming weekend (March 16, 2013 from 9-5, March 17 2013 from 12-5) is their annual open house with stuff on sale plus good food for everyone too. It is well worth a road trip if you have never been.
BenLubbs Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 I'll try calling Wolf's tomorrow and see if they can help with specific part numbers. Otherwise coralee gave me the name of a guy in Douglas that supposedly knows a lot about Slickcrafts.
prop nut Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 that's sounds like the old round rack from mercury replacement cables are available rack parts are not but the cable alone its cheaper to just change it out to the new style flat rack and a new helm gear with new steering wheel
