    96 stratos steering cable costs

    I am a noob and being told that the motor must be dropped to replace both steering cables. The part cost is $500. That's more than double of the single cable set up. Does this seem reasonable?

    I have a friend that is a long time boat owner. Could this be done by ourselves?

    thanks for any feedback.

    Re: (TwinStick)

    $500 is a bit high for cables. Seems as if they normally run about half that at BassPro/Cabelas. Fairly straight-forward install if you have the equipment. My old Javelin required lifting the engine to get the old out and the new in.
