    2020 R23 new steering cable question

    Just had a new steering cable installed from a supra dealer, no tige dealer around, and it works fine when you have people in the boat and just driving. The issue is when the boat is loaded down with ballast and you give it gas at take off it rattles at the steering assembly. It stops after it gets up to speed it's just the first couple of seconds of take off.

    As you see i have another issue i need to get fixed in the other post but what can cause the cable to rattler coming out of the hole with ballast.

    thanks.

    I'm taking back to the dealer but I would like to have an idea what's causing it before I talk them.

    Don’t really know much about boats, but I would suspect play in the linkage. Can you move rudder left/right while somebody holds steering wheel still? Does the rudder itself feel in any way “loose”? Sounds to me like the dirty water flow over the rudder at hole shot is aggravating system play.

      More than likely the rattle you hear is the thrust of the water coming off the prop so hard that it is vibrating the rudder causing the helm to vibrate.

        What would cause this. The original cable was not an issue on rattles. Do you think like the other posted stated maybe play in the linkage?
