Just did mine. seastar xtreme nfb kit part # ssx17614 14 ft. Mine is an 87 or 89? outboard. Not much more to get a helm but its a different style. Had to cut a 2 inch by 4 hole under steering wheel so cable would fit. Cant see it much because its on the bottom. Just didn't get around to glassing over it yet. Up at the helm it just feeds in and clicks in a detent,cable looks kinda like it has a spring wrapped around it. That's the easy part. If u have an outboard, that end of cable runs through where it pivots on the boat and it is a solid piece permanently attached to cable. The hole where it goes into the boat isn't straight with the pivot point so u have to cut the hole bigger or remove the outboard and slide solid end of cable in.
And like phat said the cable will have a # on it. mine was in white on the black outer cover of cable.
