Just hooked up my rudder to the cables and rudder pedals this weekend. Pretty cool. That said, the first thing that I noticed was that the cables make a modest racket sliding through the bushings. Got me to thinking... over the course of time, is this an issue? Will the cable gradually wear through the bushings and perhaps rub against the alum. of the bulkheads? If so, is this just an annual inspection item to make sure that the steel and alum. never rub against each other?
Has anyone tried running the cable in a piece of plastictubing to give it added protection? Am I overthinking all this and worrying about nothing?
