Steel Cable Recoil

[Yamahauler]

well, one of my friends had one on his 200e big red and after about a year of pulling it with the pull starter the steel cable wore a groove in the pull start case.

Haha, my 83 has a Boot lace recoil start cable.

I got one for my YT175, and its too short in my opinion. Id try to stick with rope.

go with rope just make sure you have that rubber grommet in so it doesnt cut the rope

we rigged a cable to ours and it cut a 2 inch long groove in the recoil cover.

Stick with the rope, the cable is an absolute piece of crap! I had one on my 200s and no matter how tight you made the recoil spring to winde the cable in it still hung out about 6". The cable was too stiff. Go to the boat shop and get braided nylon line for boat application's, it wear's a lot longer and is stronger.

my 200s has a groove worn on the recoil. and its had rope forever. i guess that shows how much trouble my dad used to have with it.
