Cables Breaking on Mirage Drive

[yakboy63]

Hello Jeff, I Am new to this forum and i was wondering if anyone else was having this problem. Just snapped one last weekend,thankfully it was on my way in ,as i was quite a ways out. This will be my second set in two years. I have broke the idler cable as well.( once) I'm not gonna lie,i go out in the strong tides and i use my boat.I love the hands free fishing out of my outback. I guess i just chalk it up as new cables every year,still cheaper than a motorboat! however, i do wish they would use fatter cables maybe. i wash the drive religeously everytime. hope this helps, Mark
