How do I tighten the response on dual cable steering

The only dual-cable steering I would recommend “tightening up” is mercurys ride-guide. The morse/etc NFB steering cant be tightened up without causing a bind in the helm that makes it _very_ difficult to steer, and which leads to premature gear wear in the helm which leads to loss of steering. What you do is adjust the length of one cable, so that they develop tension at the point where they are connected together at the tiller arm. But with non-merc NFB steering, this causes pressure in the helm which triggers the NFB “jamming”, except this “jam” is supposed to release when you turn the wheel and relieve the pressure from the back. But you always have “pressure” when you tighten it up and it will be hard to steer _all_ the time. You can adjust it to just before where it starts to get tight, but there will still (necessarily) be some slop left, just not very much…2008 Pantera Classic2014 Mercury Pro XS 200

BCB boats are NOT Anti Feedback. We never used it! This is just an adjustment. BCB

The problem with NFB is the way the gears “jam” to prevent the wheel from turning as a result of pressure from the motor. I found that these were primarily good for selling replacement helms every 3-4 years. The racks on the end of the cables wear, and the internal helm drive gear that engages these racks wear, and it wont be long before the teeth wear enough that you cant turn against the engine torque at all as the drive gear will jump over the teeth on the cable racks. Ugly. I had one of these on my boat and replaced it once with an identical helm. The second time was right after the sea star pro came out and I went to that and never looked back…2008 Pantera Classic2014 Mercury Pro XS 200
