97 nautique now steers Backwards?

14 hours ago

97 Nautique and I replaced the steering cable with the new model

I can't imagine the unit could be installed any other way.

I'll get under there in the morning but can that rack be reversed?

The rack could be mounted upside down. That is about the only thing that would cause this.

Yup - got the unit installed upside down...
Instructions are at home so i'll have to see if I wasn't reading them or it didn't specify the orientation.

Just flipped it so the black is on the bottom and it doesn't act like a rudder anymore :-)
