Possible ptoblem with Raider trim on B-1

[CARBONX2]

Rod is not the problem, the sleeve needs to be reinforce to stop the cable rope inner flexing too much and kinking the sleeve

With a stage name of Radical Riche, you should remove that 5mm steering cable before you bend it.
I have the bracket, heavy duty 6mm cable, and cable ends in stock here.

I thought that it was a solid inner rod that ran from the steering nozzle to the steering column.

Then it wouldn't be able to bend through ski.

Shift cables in boats have a solid rod inside and your able to bend it. Poor design

Mines 2” rearward. B2 cable with 2” stainless extension. I know it’s different but principle is similar.

Find some Alu tube to go over the sleeve of the cable at the pump. It will prevent the B1 cable bending/kinking

So do I want the aluminum tubing to span the area of the steering cable where it contracts in/out..where the little rubber seal is? I'm gonna use stainless tube much..stronger.

Yes, over that thin tube that the cable slides in and out of. Cut it so the rubber can fit back on tube and that will stop it from sliding around

Thinking about doing the same thing to the steering cable rod.

My ski is covered in plastic an I can't get a measurement on what I.D diameter tubing I need to buy. Looks like .25". Do you know?
