Hello,

I had my steering cables replaced this winter. First time out on the boat it did not want to turn left very well.

I followed the forums and recentered my cables and nozzles today.

Here’s my issue. While adjusting starboard arm I ran out of threads for adjustment. I rotated it back ln 3-4 times and called it good. Why would I be running out of threads? Anyway to extend so I have more threads on?

Thanks for the help as always.

Look under the helm where the other end is, most likely too much there that needs to be backed out then you should have more at the nozzles
 
Thank you @Neutron. I’ll take a look. I have never messed with the cables under the helm.

Once I loosen the helm end will it just be longer at the nozzle end? Will I have to loosen the nozzle end from the through hull fitting to extend it?

Again thank you for all the help.
