Hi guys. I need some help. I recently aquired a 50's era Nylox fiberglass boat. The p.o. gutted all the steering cables. I know I should look for a single cable steering, but i just don't have the dough for it right now. So here's what I got.

I have a steering wheel with with a drum with a separation between the drum.
I have in the bow two hangy down pulleys on the left and right.
I have at the stern two hangy down pulleys on the left and the right.
I have two pulleys on a flange mounted in the transom well left and right.
I have two springy things attached to the transom well on each side.
I have a bar on the motor with two clevises.
I have no idea where to begain to hook new cables up.
If anybody can send me some kind of diagram on how to route them I would greatly appreciate it.

Better yet, if you happen to live in the San Francisco North bay area, you could come by and help me make this work. I would BBQ you up a great steak dinner, buy you all the beer you can drink, and put you up for the night. Thank you.
