## ⚙️ Key Features

-   8750 mm long
-   6.000 kg
-   57 applications across six engine series
-   Long run alternative to the 2500 mm cable 3840246

## 🔌 Function

Transmits helm movement mechanically to the steering arm at the drive or rudder.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Steering heavy or notchy, especially on a long cable run
-   Slack at the wheel before the drive starts to move
-   Outer casing kinked, chafed or split
-   Corrosion staining at either cable end
-   Grease weeping from the swaged fittings

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Measure the existing cable end to end before ordering, as 3840246 is the 2500 mm version
-   Avoid tight bends and keep the cable clear of hot exhaust surfaces when routing
-   A long cable magnifies helm friction, so grease the ram end and check the arm bushing
