2002 Sanger V210 Steering Cable

Anyone know the Teleflex part #? The cable is black. The factory says it's 21 feet. I'm can't seem to easily find it on the internet. So many options, I'm lost.

Once I have it, any tips for installing the replacement?

I have a 2005 Sanger V210. Do you know which cable I would need to buy? It looks like Teleflex has been bought out and the part numbers and series have changed.

Digging up and old thread . I'm getting ready to finally tackle the steering cable on my 1998 v210. This post gives me hope it wont be too bad . I was wondering just how hard is it going to be to get the cable loose from the rudder and remove and clean the tube back there . Obviously I'll have to pull the engine side panels and get my big ass down under the engine .

Hey I recognize this thread! CALIV210 - go for it. With a little patience, no problem. Ping me if you have any questions along the way. Really, the biggest pain in the a** was that my cable went through the back side of my sub-woofer box literally. So I essentially had to take the box apart for the cable replacement. Other than that, not very hard.

In fact, I've had to re-do my steering cable once again since this original post. I've since re-located my bilge pump and bought an automatic one so that water no longer gets high enough to wet the end of the cable (causing stiff cable response too early). The second time I didn't bother cleaning the tube so judiciously. It's been 3-4 years and still operates just fine.

Thank you for the encouragement . I ordered the cable yesterday hopefully it will show up tomorrow so I can get started on it . I was pumped to find it for $110.00 versus the $225.00 the local shop wanted for it . Im willing to by local but not when the price is almost double . My biggest concern is getting my big ass down below the engine to unhook it from the tiller arm . lol Hey so besides getting stiff was there any other symptoms with yours ?

have not done this job on a vdrive, but I don't think it will be too bad. Turn the wheel so it pulls the arm over to one side so you have a little better access

No symptoms other than stiffer turning.

Ive watched a bunch of videos and asked enough questions that I'm feeling pretty confident it will be a straight forward repair . Thanks again everyone for for the support .

update:
So far so good . I unbolted the rack from the helm and unbolted the end of the cable from the tiller arm and the tube that holds it . It was definitely a bitch to get to the tiller arm bolt at 6 feet tall and 240 lbs .lol. Once I cut the zip ties that hold the steering cable and the throttle cable together down by the engine the cable seems to move freely . I'm just going to cut the rack off the old cable and tape it to the new one and drag it back through doesn't seem like it will be to difficult . Keeping my fingers crossed for now . The worst part is gonna be making a mess with the Sawsall cutting the cable .

You guys were right it wasnt too difficult once I found the hidden zipties. After I finished I spun the steering wheel and its smoother but definitely not as smooth as it should be . So I got to looking at everything and I noticed there appears to be grease zerks on the rudder housing . I have a feeling it desperately needs to be greased. I tried to grease it but the hose on my grease gun is too short so today I will pick up a hose extension and grease it up after work with some marine grease . Does anyone have any other suggestions for getting the steering to be buttery smooth ??

new cable and some marine grease should get it there

Got it greased up last night its much smoother now . Must have been bone dry because it took a lot of grease. The only thing I might change is the pivot ball cable holder thingamajigger back by the transom . The pivot ball has a slight amount of play in it . Hopefully I'll get the boat out this weekend and then I can decide if I'm going to get back in there and change that mount . If it drive well and steers well I'm not going back in there until after the summers over .

UPDATE:
For anyone thats interested I thought I should throw up an update . We finally got to take the boat out and after greasing the rudder box and replacing the steering cable the boat feels better then it ever has the steering is so nice and sweet now .
