Installing steel cable to drum and pulley steering system

[Bdp35]

I am replacing the rope with 3/16” steel cable on my 15ft 1956 wooden boat.

Can I use my old pulleys with this cable?

Please see photo of the U groove measurement of one of the pulleys.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Brian

I don't see a problem, you're cable is sheathed.
