Pull Pull geometry

A solid rod, if not addressing the width issue IS THE SAME THING and WILL CAUSE binding.. but again more binding at some un reasonable deflection distance.

Solid rods do not "Slop" they "bind"

Pick you poison!

Hi Andrew,

I use pull/pull cable steering on my 20 Kneeler. The cables are connected to Robart radio box seals. When both cables are tightened equally, I've not experienced an issue with one cable becoming slack when turning the engine.

I'm attaching a photo of my cable steering system. As you can see, the cables run along the fuel tank sides.

Jerry,

You care to share more on your turn fin placement for that Kneeler??? Looks like it is attached the side of the center section instead of the sponson, the way Tommy Lee used a turn fin on his oval record tunnel. Caught my eye right away.....

The turn fin is mounted to a bracket secured to the sponson former. There is a brace from the center section down to the bracket to prevent the bracket from flexing from the side load on the fin in a corner. I can provide a photo if that would help.

Jerry I tried looking up those Seals you used. Are they no longer made? I typed them in google and this was all that came up.

I tried locating the seals on Tower without any success. Which is a bit strange since there's literally 100s of Robart products shown on Tower. They are called #400 Water Tight Output Bushing.

Andrew, just got done searching - no wheels anywhere close that i'm not using. +1 on what grim says, binding causes excess strain on servos & batteries. plus cables are lighter, & i can replace them in about 10 minutes at the pond. never had 1 fail, though...........
