I have a 15' Whaler and need to replace the steering cable. I am having trouble locating the old style plastic coated cable, any ideas?

I am guessing you have pulley steering? If so, check out lowes or your local hardware store. if there isn't one close, then order from a marine supplier.

Bring a sample with you to ensure the correct diameter.

I don't believe the 15's ever used the pulley and cable system?
I have never owned a 15' and never looked that close but I assumed they always used the single teleflex cable.
I don't see pulleys on this 1976 Sport 15' which is the first year they were produced...
