Qué cubre este vídeo

The shift cable on a cruising sailboat fails while preparing for a passage to Nassau, Bahamas.0:34 The cable, which had been replaced three years prior, snapped at the rod end due to internal seizing.5:28 Because the current cable diameter is smaller than the original 50-year-old equipment, the owner previously fabricated a custom mounting collar using pipe bushings and a nipple to secure the cable to the pedestal.7:07 To facilitate the repair, the owner grinds away a portion of the aluminum pedestal housing to improve access to the pivot pin and yoke assembly.2:24 After extracting the broken cable, the owner uses screw extractors to remove set screws from the custom collar, transfers the collar to a new Morse cable, and re-installs the assembly.7:23 Routing the new cable requires crawling through the port-side quarter berth and the engine compartment to reach the transmission lever.8:27 Once connected and adjusted, the transmission shifts smoothly between forward, neutral, and reverse.10:45 Fabricating custom mounting hardware allows for the use of modern, smaller-diameter replacement cables on older steering pedestals.7:01
