I have a rack and pinion steering. To replace the cable ,Do I measure the old one complete from end of rack and pinion to end of steering rod or just the length of cable,as I have it out of boat. Thanks for help in advance.P.S. The old cable measures 12ft.from rack to approach on steering rod.

When I replaced one a few years ago, the cable length was stamped on the end of the sheath. I just ordered the same one.
