I am about to complete the restoration of my 1978 13' Sport model. When I got the boat, the steering was gone, just the steering wheel and an old damaged unit below the exsiting console. What do I need to install to replace old steering, and re-use the existing steering wheel? I have seen some people mention Teleflex? The boat will be running a 40hp Honda. Does anybody have any suggestions, part numbers?? Please help! Will post pics when complete. Thanks

Teleflex is correct....
See the Teleflex link on the left sidebar under "Vendors Web Links"..
It is generally best to purchase the complete kit with the new Helm and Steering Cable...

You'll need to get the steering cable and the matching helm. Typically you'll need the 11 foot cable.
