My (limited) experience w/ panama marine has always been that they are overpriced. (I'm a poor married man w/ 2 kids) |

You will also want to check the steering tube the engine is mounted on. Remove the bolt that connects the steering cable to the engine tiller, you should be able very easily move the motor back and forth. If not, you'll have to start freeing up that pivot tube. A heat gun a grease goes a long, long way. The heat gun is a must!.

Okay, I went out and took some pics. Can't get the wheel off yet, waiting on a buddy to come over and help.
If anyone can identify the type of steering I have currently, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Ragan |

looks like a Teleflex rotary, from what the cable looks like, I would definately replace both. Look on the cable near one end or the other for some white writing, it will have the cable part number and a lot of other stuff written on it, its usually within 2 ft of the end, normalyy on the back side of the cabel where you can't read it. All you are interested in is the length, usually given in inches, last number after the part number. If you can't find a good deal on a cable, let me know and I'll see if I can get you a price

Spare is right, juat get the number for the leanth, if you can't find it then when you get it off you will have to measure the old fashion way.
You should be replacing the whole thing looks pretty old. Here is how to measure if you can't find the motor http://www.downloadingfiles.co.uk/te...g%20Cables.pdf
