#1 Get an oem SeaDoo or oem equivalent quality cable kit.
#2 Have someone VERY qualified put it in. Can be fairly easy...need 1 long socket. CAUTION! THIS JOB MUST BE DONE CORRECTLY! If you are not 100% confident in your ability, don't touch it.
I opened up the panel to look at where the cable attaches to the steering column. Ok im not the best wrench but how do you remove what you cant see. I had to take a picture with my phone to see. It looks like you need to remove the steering column to get to the cable yes or no
I squirted liquid film on all the moving part that I could get to. It still sticks a little but you use it on the water you hardly notice. I'm really not sure yet how to get the cable off without removing the entire column
