A fishing buddy begged me to okay his boat's worn steering cable.

Saying no risks our friendship, but saying yes risks his life.

Well, tbh it's not just at high speed. Lose steering in a tight channel even going slow and you're in trouble.

That cable snaps at 30 knots and he loses all steering. @taylorw30 is right, it's a recipe for trouble. A real friend makes the hard call, even if he gets mad. You gotta pick his life over his mood.

A worn steering cable is just asking for trouble, seen it before.
