Anyone know where I can get the exact match for the steering boot that attaches to the hull on my 1996 26x?
Thanks.

Re: 26X Steering Boot Replacement?
It is large enough to cut from thin rubber gasket material, if you are talking about the main wiring and steering gear boot.
The little boot on the steering linkage can be replaced by a master cylinder boot nicely without the marine markup..I think Moe had a source he found several years ago (wonder why I remembered that??)

Boot, Who's got a boot? Mine just comes out a hole. Same with my motor wiring and control cables. I don't think the factory ever supplied a boot for either. Never had any problem with water entry. My bilge is always dry.
