    Default Steering Cable - 1986 Mercruiser Alpha One 230

    I am replacing the current cable - Hi-Lex 15'. Is there a compatible cable?

    Follow up - I found out this cable is no longer available. I have replaced it with a Telex. Most difficult part was cutting the dash to fit the new rack at the helm.
