Utopia steering cable replace cost

[donjrein]

Just had my 2003 Utopia steering cable replaced. Bill came to $975. I provided the new cable and still have to replace the bellows on it. Does this seem accurate?

I paid about $270CAN for my cable and it took an hour to put it in. That bill seems a little steep!

$170+1.5 hours of my time =Rip Off!

Don't put it in the water until new bellows in place or this will be repeated in about 2-3 years.

What size bellows? Can't seem to find any info for it.

Sounds like a rip. I did my forward reverse cable myself. Cost me about 200 but was a total pain.

What about the other bellows for forward reverse cable?
