Choose this version when purchasing a single boot for a specific repair or replacement, or when the retail card packaging is preferred. The boot protects the cable output end where the cable exits the helm and enters the engine steering arm area, which is the point most exposed to spray, salt, and debris. Without a boot, the cable end is exposed to contamination that accelerates wear on the cable jacket and internal wire, leading to stiff or binding steering. Inspect the boot during annual maintenance and replace it if it shows cracking, hardening, or gaps — it’s an inexpensive part that protects a much more expensive cable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51250856984612,"sku":"354-5217001","price":15.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/354-521700_e97f8030-102b-437b-af5a-df9e8b69e33a.jpg?v=1786511164","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/steering-cable-boot-carded-354-5217001","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
