Steering Cable "Teleflex" replacement

[Flying Squid]

I need to replace my Teleflex steering cable and I cant seem to find any #'s on it.<br /> I believe it is a safe-t II cable it measures 13'6" from the eye on the shaft to the tip of the cable any one know what size cable this would be? <br />The teleflex website isnt any help and I would like to buy this online because I can get it much cheaper than at boatUS or west marine so I want to make sure its the right lenght.<br /><br />Thanks in advance foe any input

I know from experience that the teleflex website has instructions on how to measure for a cable. I would post the link, but I'm not at my own PC (I'm on vacation). Check out their site under "support". <br /><br />My Teleflex cable has the length printed on it in embossed letters every foot or two along its entire length.

Measure from the steering wheel to the gunwale to the stern to the middle of the transom, add 6", round up ... order that length.
