How do I know which length steering cable I need?
The cable part number and length can usually be found about 2 feet from one end of the cable, stamped
into the plastic conduit (exterior jacket or casing). If you can't locate/read it, proceed to step a:
a. Is the cable you are replacing rotary?
Rotary is a spiral wrapped black core wire sticks out at helm end of cable. Rack and pinion cable has
long metal housing with rack [flat] gear inside (under the dash).
Measure the cable's plastic jacket (casing) in inches.If rotary, add 18", and round up to the next foot.
If rack & pinion, add 30" and round up to the next foot.
Order that length cable.
b. Are you doing a first-time steering cable installation?
Measure Cable Routing Path in Boat as Follows:
A = Center line of wheel to gunwale (inches),
B = Dash to transom (inches),
C = Gunwale to cable connection at centered tiller (inches).
For Tilt Tube Mounting, add A, B & C + 6", and round up to the next foot. Order that length cable.
For Transom/Splashwell/Stringer Support Mounting, add A, B & C, then subtract 6" and round up to
the next foot. Order that length cable.
