Working on a 1978 Mercury Monark. Steering cable. Mercruiser 165. The steering is very difficult so we've opened the helm and all looks good inside. The fit and finish on the drive and gimbal is good. I think I've narrowed it down to the steering cable and removed it for replacement. There's no markings on the casing but it is 18.5' and the steering wire is 21.5' with the helm end wrapped with a cable spiraling up to the tip. The cable moves freely by hand. The helm is mechanical. Any ideas which cable this might be?
