rex marine brand new teleflex steering kit. like $150, new shaft, new rack and pinion, etc. just look at the end of your cable and there should be a model # and i think the last 2 are the length. so tel39595-17 will be a 17' cable, etc.

turning will be almost "too easy" once you replace.

Post some pics of what was in the boat. I'm looking for an old used cable from a Mercury/Kiekhaefer type of rack and pinion unit.
