Cable and Pulley steering

Does it make any difference where you anchor the cable on the side of the boat? If it does what dictates the position? Boat is Quarter Master.

I guess this is the wrong place to ask for help.

I have found that the closer "anchor" to being in line with the "steering" cables coming aft from the helm, and far enough forward that the arc between the "steering" cable and the "anchor" cable stays as parallel as possible when turning the engine.
Hope this helps. And if you need 30min service try calling Domino's.

Thanks for the answers and the sarcasm. I did not get personal with anyone.

Nor us with you. Everyone needs a little humor once in a while!!
On a seriouis note, this has got to be the most responsive website/forums around. Try posting on the Chevy truck forum, or some of the other boating forums, and you may get a response in a day, a week or a month, or very likely not at all.
Have a good weekend, and let us know how it turns out!
