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.

You should see the cable steering system on the Grand Banks. *It's quite a
setup. *Plus, if it ever snapped, you pop out a circular cover on the aft
deck, insert a big, mahogany tiller with a metal cap onto the rudder post,
and keep on truckin'.

Now that's cool! Did it actually come with the tiller stowed away
somewhere?
