Welcome to SCJB 

Not much luck saving a cable once it gets tight.  There should be a number on the outer sleeve of the cable that should guide you to the correct replacement.

Save yourself the headache and replace it . Mine broke in the middle of the lake ! wasn't fun with 4 drunk guys and no paddles .......

I had that same rack n pinion on my Hondo Pantera T deck and that cable was not easy to find. They discontinued it from the factory and almost nobody had one. I found it by luck in Mississippi from some marine place as new old stock. Good luck I hope you have an easier time finding it then I did.
