On Chuck's site someone mentions two wire mechanical push pull steering
systems used by Parker boats. I am curious. Could anyone post a link to
such a steering system. I know in the olden days that OMC used that type
of system for a while but I was unaware that anyone is using it today.


Mine is not a Parker but a Lund. It uses Teleflex hydraulic steering that
is a thing of beauty and a joy for ever.

I just can't imagine a boat with today's high horse power motors using the
old cable system.



It's not "the old cable system." It's Teleflex's "No Feedback System,"
which has a single push/pull cable coming out of the helm. It is in
common use on many outboard boats.

You can find the details on the teleflex site. There are several such
non-hydraulic systems there, including this one:
