Is this for the rack where the cable passes through the inside of the rack and bolts to it?  If so, I have a complete assembly with what was a fairy new cable when I pulled it from my 73 18' Tahiti many years ago. If it is the correct length, it is yours for the price of shipping(from NorCal). Post a pic of the rest of the assembly.

That is the same Mercury steering I have. I will try to get down to my storage today or tomorrow to check the length.

No worries. It’s gel and was super faded from the sun in California.
I just wet sanded then lay two coats of clear and that always pops it back out. Second one doing it this way with great results. First one was so faded it felt like roof shingles to the touch and came back unbelievably nice.

It’s a mercury set up with a ride guide cable. 12’ stamped on the black casing.

Sorry I'm a bit late getting back to you. The cable I have measures 14' from fixture going into the rack to the threads going into the steering tube. It is stamped 16' 6" which I assume is the overall length of the inner cable. I know it was a bit longer than the original from my 18' Tahiti. If yours is marked 12', can I assume you have a 16' Tahiti?

You would be correct. It’s 16 Tahiti. I really appreciate checking on this. Hopefully I’ll run across one soon.

Good morning. Any luck with Tim Place? Your pretty much my last resort before I switch it over to a teleflex system.
