So my maybe new boat looks to have had some repair to the steering in the past. The result is that the cables are too short and the cable clamps are right up against the quadrant. From pics I've seen of other E30+'s there is about 2-3" more cable showing between the quadrant and the first clamp. Not sure why there is tape wrapped on the cable either. Maybe it's ok ? The other issue is the wheel brake knob is just flopping around not fastened to anything. All that being said I think it needs a total redo. Not my boat yet so I can't take anything apart to see if it's the cables or the chain that has been shortened or what's up with the wheel brake. I am trying to figure out the cost to redo the whole system at this point so I can haggle with seller. I know YS is out of business so how do I find parts and pricing? Will Edson brake parts fit on this pedestal ? Thanks, look forward to your replies.
