my steering is very very hard to turn on my 2001 sea doo xp, im thinking its my steering cable, but i just want to hear what you guys think it is before i waste my money on the cable and find out its something else. the steering steers, but it is very rough and hard to turn. i took the nut off of the impeller and disconnected it from the steering cable and the impeller spun freely, its the cable that needs to be replaced, correct? thank you :cheers:

If you are basing it off of the feel of another machine? I have a set here the guy wanted it replaced...the XPLs feel heavier than say a GSX.
Its probly never been maintained, oiled or greased. That said, I have brought many back that after removeing the cable, puting one end in my vise, I was able to free up and relubricate, then regrease, especially the end at the rear of ski that is in water constanly. Hold the cable and re-oil and slide the sheath back & forth and twist ect ect. Excellent results!

any photos? my 02 XP was (from what i was NOT told, and can see) sitting at the bottom of the ocean for a few hours... and my cable is stiff... what exactly did you do / photos?
thanks! if you pull the cable, how much is the cable, i mean you doing the same amount of work, why not just replace it if it's not too much $ i'd say under $100 i'd just replace it... then you know you will get several more years out of it...
