    Rope to Rotary Steering

    I think this is the right place for this but am not sure. I currently have a rope steering system on my 1448 semi v boat and am wanting to convert it to the rotary style. I know which kit to buy but my question is about where the cable hooks to the motor. I currently have a Evinrude 25 hp...

    Computer question

    Sounds like a corrupt driver. Drivers are what allow electronics to communicate with each other. I recommend going to Dell's site click support and then Drivers and downloads. There you will be able to enter the service tag (located on the back of your tower.) Once entered it will bring you...
