Can anyone identify this Steering?

[riley0412]

Can anyone Identify what kind of steering is on My New to me Alumacraft? The boat is a 1959 queen 16 and the wheel and steering mechanism has been replaced. I think it requires a solid cable verses the Cable / pulley type system. Just don't know what cable to purchase.

Thanks
Paul

It looks old or maybe original.

I would replace it with a helm/cable kit. Right here on iboats. Boat Rotary Steering - iboats

Tough to see in that photo, you need to get some light up under the console. Also, it looks like the camera was fooled by the lights in the garage.

I can see that it's a rotary type system as opposed to a rack, other than that it's impossible to tell much. Chances are your best bet will be to replace it with a Teleflex rotary helm.
