Edson Steering - cable in tube - tube broken (again). 38 Pilothouse

[Geoffrey Ferrell]

This first happened when I was bringing the boat up from Oriental - no steering righ in the middle of a very choppy Albemarle sound. (luckily the pilothouse has hydraulic steering in the Pilothouse.)  That was 2017, had it replaced in Hamptons. 

Just found this re-failure (steering still functions but…) a couple of weeks ago.  Looks like the overall radius is beyond the strength of the grease fitting.  I think I could rig a support line to this plastic fitting that would force the strain out to the tubes themselves.  BUT

$$ to get the thing replaced - I’m thinking this is beyond my abilities.  

1. Any recommendations in the West River - Annapolis area?  

2. Any random comments? :-)
