Hello, the rotary steering cable on my boat in messed up. Everything online looks different. Any suggestions on a new rotary system that will work? This in a 15' Sprint and the old cable measured 14 foot.

Cables manufactured just 10 years ago will require a bit of fitment much less a 50 year old boat. You may need a new helm to go with the cable

Get a complete kit.

I really don’t like the Vevor company. BUT their helms actually work okay for a small outboard. Will run $140 and they install as a direct replacement for Teleflex Sea Star. On such a small boat I’d have zero issues with that. My old StarCraft 14’ still has cable drum steering as that’s what it came with and it is still in good working order
