Steering cables for Outboard Motors.
In this section we plan to help you get the correct length and type of outboard steering cable for your steering helm and outboard.
When it comes to outboard cable steering there are really only two main types, a lighter weight cable and a heavy duty cable.
Lighter weight cables are referred to as M58 and are only compatible with the T67 lightweight helms, the heavy duty steering cable is referred to as M66 and is only compatible with the T71 helm options and others.
Cable Types | Helm Types |
M58

M66
(slotted at helm end, held into helm by a bolt and for outboards 60hp upwards) |
