I searched - but I have a unique situation.
My helm has been getting sloppier lately. I pulled everything apart. It is time for a replacement helm.
1986 Montauk 17
My helm appears to be the original Teleflex SH5023
The unique part:
The original owner had a new Teleflex SSC6218 cable installed just before I bought the boat 13 months ago(receipt verified). I don't use the boat much so the cable is still like new. No slop in it or at the motor connection. I really don't want to route a new cable either. Now - why the previous owner's mechanic didn't swap out the helm at this time - I don't know. I do know the prior cable was seized.
So I'm looking for a replacement helm, which will allow me to use the SSC6218 cable. An online retailer states that "the SSC6218 fits Teleflex Safe-T, Quick Connect helms, NFB (no feedback) helms".
Based on that - what helm do you guys recommend?

Hydraulic!
Kidding aside, the Teleflex should be fine. Verify the compatibility of parts directly with Teleflex. You should be able to do this online via their website.
