How to change Steering Bellows?

[azirkhan]

I bought the Steering Bellows Kit, proceeded to change it out, but the nut at the end of the cable is in the way! any suggestions on how to remove this not? Thanks.

Never mind, its done. I soaked the thread in PB Blaster, held the steel bolt with a vise grip and unscrewed the nut with a spanner. No issues.

Where did you find the bellows. Mine are torn and need to be replaced. Thanks

It's a standard "Moris" or Telefex" type cable. Hit a regular boat shop, and they should have some generic replacements.

FYI... DO NOT run the boat without the boot. It keeps the water out of the cable. An $8 boot can save the $150 cable.

I looked for generic boots last year with no luck in that size. I ended up buying them online at Seadoo Parts Warehouse.

EDIT..... I got those parts from Boats.net

Found the boots from a place called sunset marine. They have different parts diagrams that seem to be more detailed when looking for obscure parts.
