    Steering Cable Help

    Hi all,

    I need to replace the steering cable on my 1989 X-270. I unbolted the current one from the helm looking for a part number but all I could find was "T617" stamped into the casing on the rack. My google searches have turned up nothing...

    I'm hoping to get some idea where to begin to find a replacement cable or maybe a recommendation of a company that can help me.

    Thanks in advance,
    Shea

    Whoops, I should have scrolled down before posting... Looks like C&O Marine is the way to go. Now should I stick with rack and pinion or go to a rotary system?

    My cables need replacing too and if I were you like me, Id stick with the rack and pinion. I have the teleflex system in mine and know I can get the cables easily enough. C&O would be a good place for them.
