This small but critical component keeps grease packed against the threads and keeps saltwater, sand, and debris out, preventing corrosion and premature wear that can lead to stiff or failed steering. Sold individually, the Steersman guard is a direct-fit replacement for outboards from Honda, Mercury, Mariner, Johnson, Evinrude, Nissan, Suzuki, Tohatsu, Yamaha, and Force that use a 7\/8 inch or 1 inch steering cable thread. Choose stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance in saltwater environments, or the more economical aluminum option for freshwater and lighter-duty use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Steersman (World Wide Marine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread sizes available: 7\/8 inch and 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials available: Stainless steel and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Honda, Mercury, Mariner, Johnson, Evinrude, Nissan, Suzuki, Tohatsu, Yamaha, Force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as: Single grease guard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes \u0026amp; Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure the threaded collar where your steering cable enters the steering ram to confirm whether you need the 7\/8 inch or 1 inch guard - do not guess by outboard brand alone, as thread size varies by model and year. For the 7\/8 inch thread, choose stainless steel for the best long-term corrosion resistance, especially in saltwater, or aluminum for a lighter-duty, lower-cost option. The 1 inch size is currently offered in stainless steel only. If you are unsure which size your outboard uses, remove the old guard (if present) and measure its inside diameter, or check your steering cable's spec sheet before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Wide Marine","offers":[{"title":"7\/8\" \/ Stainless Steel","offer_id":49049243025627,"sku":"WWM-00178","price":26.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7\/8\" \/ Aluminum","offer_id":49049243058395,"sku":"WWM-00278","price":15.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\" \/ Stainless Steel","offer_id":49049243091163,"sku":"WWM-00101","price":26.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/WWM-00178_lg__54880.1558134235.500.750_9cfdf85e-1e6c-4c33-a6f2-85c254020bbc.jpg?v=1785457087","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/world-wide-marine-steersman-steering-cable-grease-guard-7-8-to-1-stainless-steel-or-aluminum","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
