Super Jet Superjet steering cable - couch alternative?

[Matt_E]

I thought that I read in the past that a certain Yamaha sitdown steering cable is beefier than the SJ cable and can be substituted directly.
Anyone remember what that was?

I think XFT was selling them, if anything that may make it easier to search. Good luck.

This might help too, they have measurements and pics of the ends: http://www.shopsbt.com/jet-skis/yamaha-steering-cables.html

Let me know what you find I would be interested in one too once I know what works.

I seem to remember gp1200??

gp1200r

Is it any less expensive? Curious because we all know how proud Yamaha is of their parts. The Kawi throttle cable works like a champ at about 1/3 the price. (and is much more heavy duty)
Will yamaha to yamaha couch save any $?

I pulled a cable off of a raider and used it. It had extra length too.

Good thread! i also need a new sterring cable for my build. if i remenber correct, i´ve read about gp1200 steering cable as a replacement for the RN steering cable. never heard about the gp1200r cable.

@tom21: have you used the gp1200r cable in person?

i think gp800 and gp1200 is the same hull, so i assume they use the same steering cable?

gp1200 steering cable part number is GP8-U1481-00-00;
gp800 steering cable part number is GP7-U1481-00-00;
gp1200r (2000-2002) steering cable part number is F0X-U1481-00-00 or F0X-U1481-10-00

So maybe they are all the same? Someone must find out!

I can't say this for sure but I know for a fact from trying to swap cables on a 701 Waveventure that the 1100-1200 cables are bigger, I ended up having to swap the plastic cable holder and the rubber piece as well, the cable would not physically fit through the waveventure 701 parts, I have a GP 1200 here being parted and a Superjet cable already out, I can check those and see whats up

any updates in the steering cable world?

(WFO, Matt)?

I went with the Skat Trak heavy duty SJ cable. Spendy, but beefy.

I really like the threaded ends on that cable. Whenever I've broken a cable, it was at the threaded ends (due to my own mishandling of steering adjustment, to be fair).
Stock cable threads are M5. These cable ends are quite a bit bigger, but I don't know the size.

They aren't metric if I remember correctly on the skat trak one I had in the Trinity. Great product and when I get extra money I'll be buying one to put in the Matrix. Matt, what are you going to do with the adapter for the thrust trim?
