Brief Description:  Rudder Cable Installed.

Strung out the rudder cables and attached at both ends with temporary hardware. I did use the proper Clevis Bolts on the rudder pedals however.

I wanted to check the fit, alignment, movement and over all control of the rudder.
Picture 1 show my feet on the pedals. Break pedals seem a bit forward. Difficult operating the rudder pedals with out pushing on break pedals. Searched the forums and see other have the same problem/concern. Several options to fix or change it. I'll deal with it later after I actually get the final seats installed. Not worried about it.

Picture 2 show the pedal in its full aft position. Rudder is on its stop. Just wanted to document how close the cable end fitting is to the black snap bushing.

Picture 3 just documents the rudder cable attachment. Temporary hardware used here.

I'll be going to West Marine tomorrow to get some 1/8” ID cable covers for the rudder cables.
