trying to change the steering cable in my 02 x-star. Got some good input here already but ran into an unexpected snag. When I try to go and loosen the single big nut that attatches the cable to the cable bracket near the back of the boat, the whole bracket starts to spin? ugh. I tried tightening the three nuts that hold that bracket in place, but they are so difficult to get at and get a wrench on both the bolt head and nut. Any ideas to help? I was thinking of taking out the off the one big nut that holds the brackte assembly there to the bottom of the boat and then try to pull the whole thing out of the bilge area to get a better angle at it? Think that will work? Too late to try anything now, need to head to bed. Thanks.
