The great Skunkboat! As a the resident expert on the '84 Cuddy, I was hoping you might have a thought on this.
My cable is fed through that original hole (with fuel lines and shifting cable) and seems to work alright. I'm wondering if a new hole might help avoid having to unmount the outboard and lift it.

Do you want to buy the whole kit or just a cable?
I doubt very much that you have a rack&pinion helm. you probably have a 4.2 Safe-T or NFB, with a quick connect "QCII" cable If I had to guess I would get a 17' cable look at "SeaStar Quick Connect Rotary Steering Cable, SSC62XX" Try to find the pn on the old cable.

A picture would be great. To the best of my knowledge, No one has ever gotten the cable out of the motor without moving the motor...we have all tried....

another note about steering...
with the cable disconnected from the motor, the motor should EASILY move by hand. If it doesn't, your swivel rod & bushing are bound up with dry grease. If so, a new cable won't help you. Let me know... there are ways short of tearing it apart that involve lots of WD40 and some new zerc fittings. Honestly, that should be part of any steering cable change anyways...

I did mine without removing the motor. But it wasn't easy, had to cut the hole larger. the rubber boot still covered it. I thinkthere is a bushing in there that I removed to give me a little more angle. after I got the cable in I pushed the bushing back in. but the bushing holds the motor on, so I had to block it up and wiggle a little to get it back in. Mine is a dual console so maybe a little different and cant help with length.
