Thanks to Madpoodle, Uflex delivered my Rotary helm system today... cable length for a starboard helm 66 18 2+3 is 15 ft as measured per the teleflex diagram...

The cable length is impressed in the jacket of the cable usualy about 12-16 inches from the engine end. I would stay with the Tflex but upgrade to a BigT they are rated for much larger boats plus there is very little load on the helm or cable with power steering.

Hey Mop Long Winter. Spring Is comming and and I'll be getting The donzi uncovered soon. Do you know what lenth cable i would need? Also I wana try a clever prop when the weather breaks and we get some nice days. I just ordered a fresh water cooling system for Dougs clasic 18.

If you are replacing a stock Teleflex cable, I should be stamped on the black plastic casing. You'll have to look closely, but it should be there.
