I lost my steering when I was backing my boat away from the launch ramp on Friday. Something popped in the mechanism that's behind the steering wheel. I think the part is called a spigot, but I'm not sure. From what I found, it looks like a Teleflex Safe-T system. I've attached a photo. The wheel can be turned continously in either direction, and it makes a clicking sound inside the spigot.

I'm sure this has happened to someone else. Is it easy to fix? Do I have to replace it with the same exact part, or can I upgrade to a no feedback system and use the same cables?

I appreciate any advice I can get on this.
