    Add hydraulic power steering or replace dual cable

    I have an 87 champion 176 witha yamaha Pro V 150. I have dual teleflex steering cables, both of them are a little stiff and I am looking at either replacing the cables or adding hydraulic steering. Does anybody have any recommendations for either an aftermarket power steering addition or where to get new teleflex cables? It is interesting that it only turns hard in one direction...

    Thanks!

    Cables. You can buy a complete kit of antifeedback from Black Bear Sporting goods for about $400.00.

    To anyone reading this and wondering..
    NEVER EVER NEVER
    Put grease on a steering cable EVER.
    It will always dry out, pack up and lock your cables.
    Only light lubes, silicone, penetrating oil, nothing that drys out and leaves a wad of goo.
