I needed a forklift part and wasn’t sure which one fit. They asked for the model and serial number, got back to me quickly, and made sure I ordered the right one. Really helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if a 16-foot cable is the right length for my boat? A: Measure your existing steering cable jacket length from helm to engine connection point, then add 12 inches for routing; if that total matches 16 feet, this cable will fit.
Q: Is this back mount cable compatible with a front mount helm? A: No, this back mount cable is designed specifically for rear-entry helm installations; front mount helms require a different cable style.
Product appearance and specifications may vary slightly by batch. Compatibility may vary by serial number. Verify fitment before purchase.
