I have had zero cable issues in 300+ hours, either steering or bucket. My cables are both teleflex xtremes and they are run in the gunell not the bottom. What's your bucket set up look like?
Its just the standard hewescraft setup.
I will find some pics.
So the first issue I had with the bucket was it broke off.
When they replaced it they said my cable was bent. So I assume the bucket was stuck in the reverse or neutral position.
Between going to point a and point b in choppy water I went to reverse and couldn't. Looked at the back and the bucket was gone.

Second issue I had was I was anchored against a cliff, nose and anchor resting on the cliff edge, back of the boat was in 20ft of water. Went to back up and the bucket wouldn't drop, just twitched.
Took it in and the cable was bent again.
Third time my steering was frozen so I warmed the boat up for 20-30 minutes on the trailer, engine was up to temp, steering was good.
Shift and fuse popped. Put a new one in and cable was bent.
I think it is also important to point out that every time I have had an issue, my boat shop and Pacific powertrain have been helping me along the way.
I do believe the steering and bucket run through the gunnel
Other than my bucket/bucket cable I cant complain at all. They think it could be something as simple as a locking mechanism. Unfortunately I wasn't available to bring it to lewistown to have ppi look at it in person, but they did offer, and it was on his weekend no less.
