Reply With QuoteNever heard of a Detmar system. I replaced the steering on a CC and didn't have to remove the motor. But I did have to on a Bonito bass boat. I do know its recommended you use a dual cable system on a 150 HP or larger.

Installing New Steering Cables
We Just Finished Installing New Tel-flex Dual Steering Cables In My Brother-in-laws Boat. A 95 Charger. It Had A Detmar Dual Rack Steering Installed When New, The Guy At Parts Store Said It Would Replace The Detmar, Well Yes And No, It Almost Slid In But We Had To Grind About 1/16" Off Of The Helm Housing To Make It Fit, It Seems Like It Will Be Okay, We Didn't Find The Frozen One Until We Pulled Both Of The Old Ones Out, Or We Could Have Used The Good One And Got By. Anybody Know Where To Find Detmar Cables??? I Went On Line And Couldn't Find Any. I Installed A New Rotary System In My Boat 3 Years Ago And It Wasn't Bad, Had To Re-drill Where The Steering Wheel Mounted....the Instructions Manual Said We Had To Remove The 150 Hp Motor, That Is Pure Bs....i Didn't On Mine Nor On His.....anyone Else With Experence On These Systems???

It just makes it alot easier if you take the motor off. Especially when you are putting the new cables back in.
