If you removed the old cable, measure for the replacement cable as follows:For Rotary Steering Cable Replacement, Measure Existing Cable as follows: Measure plastic cable jacket ("Y" dimension, shown in above drawing) in inches, add 18a ^2, and round up to next foot. Order that length cable.New Installation: Measure cable routing path from wheel center line to engine connection, as follows: A = Center line of wheel to gunwale (or deck, if routed downward), B = Dash to transom, C = Gunwale to centerline of cable connection at centered tiller.For Cable Installations through the Engine Tilt Tube: Add A, B & C + 6a ^2, then round up to the next foot. Order that length cable.For Cables Mounted to Transom, Splashwell or Stringer: Add A, B & C, then subtract 6a ^2 and round up to the next foot. Order that length cable.TYPICAL SINGLE STATION ROUTING A single-cable, starboard drive push-pull mechanical cable system is shown in this diagram.
