Re: [Paddlewise] Prijon gas pedal rudder control

I have this setup on my Yukon Expedition and I'm not real keen on the
adjustment system.  I have also had problems with the cables pulling out of
the copper fasteners at the pedal end.  Of course, this happened twice at
precisely the moment when the rudder was most necessary - heavy winds with a
following sea.  When I get around to it, I'll get a pair of small cable eyes
rather than use the rubber tubes to keep the cables from wearing at the
straps.  I think metal cable eyes will do a better job at keeping the
pulling forces from pulling the cables out of the fasteners.  I'll also get
a connector that will hold the cable better than the supplied piece.

That says nothing about durability, but I think you'd be hard pressed to
break the things.
