Helm...
Saw this on ebay and am thinking about buying it for a project....

Question is how big do we think it is rated for (the seller is taking an age to respond to my emails)?
It looks pretty beefy to me....

It doesn't seem to have a maximum weight or HP rating though...

Tim, if you are going for cable steering, go for a twin cable type. You wont regret it.
