Should be a sharp XTB for years to come.

How did you go on the steering or more specifically the cables? I'm on the second set of Mercury mechanical cables in my 89XTB--boat in service new in early 1992. Even though I got the so-called long life Mercury steering cables when replaced, wheel is hard to turn now. I see $$$$$.

Looks like you came up with no pinch hinges for the non-driver seat. Any information on the source?

P.S. The man hours jump out at you when you view the photos. Ha!

 

[kota]

The cables are set back on the boat 4in from the orignal pos.,it loosens up the steer problem just watch the back wash. On the pas seat its a allison seat. Anything else I can help ya with let me know,And thanks it took a lot of hour and the air brushin on the cowl took a good friend some time to. haha
