Buckshot Racing #77 offers a 7x19 construction Aircraft-Grade Wire Rope designed for pulley and cable steering systems in high-performance race boats.
 
Manufactured from hot-dipped galvanized steel and pre-stretched for enhanced durability, this wire rope provides exceptional tensile strength and moderate corrosion resistance.
 
It is engineered specifically for single-engine racing applications, including F1 tunnel hulls, outboard drag racing boats, circle racing boats, hydroplanes, and other high-speed vessels.
 
This wire rope features a 7x19 strand configuration, which ensures both flexibility and strength, making it ideal for the demanding conditions of competitive racing.
 
The hot-dipped galvanized steel construction provides enhanced corrosion resistance, particularly for boats that are not stored in water continuously. Additionally, the pre-stretched design minimizes elongation under load, improving steering response and precision.
 
Each cable set includes 50 feet of wire rope with a 0.15625-inch (5/32-inch) diameter, making it suitable for even larger single-engine race boat setups.
 
This high-strength steering cable is a crucial component in maintaining control and handling at high speeds, ensuring that race boats respond accurately to steering inputs.
 
Routine inspection and maintenance are essential for safety and performance. Steering cables should be replaced if any of the following conditions are met: visible wear at pulleys or other contact points, excessive stretching of 2 inches or more per 32 feet (for a typical 16-foot boat), or the presence of broken individual wires in the rope construction.
 
Any of these signs indicate weakening and potential failure, which could compromise steering reliability.
 
Buckshot Racing #77’s Aircraft-Grade Wire Rope is a high-performance, durable solution for race boats using cable and pulley steering systems.
 
Designed for precision handling, strength, and long-term reliability, it is a critical component in ensuring both safety and performance on the water. Regular inspections and timely replacements will help maintain optimal control, giving racers the confidence needed to push their boats to peak performance.
