    am I stuck with hydraullic?

    got a 94 xb2002 that went in the water for the first time in 3 years last weekend. I have owned the boat since 95 and replaced the dual steering cables once, they are now super tight and lubing didn't seem to help. I also heard they no longer make the dual opposing steering cables any more so...

    Mercury buzzers.

    Hey guys, I bought another toy ( not an Allison) with a 175 jet on it with oil injection. Are there more than one buzzer or way it sounds.
