Swatguy, I just replaced one in an 02 x-star. Don't bother with a rope, use the cable that is in the boat now to pull the new cable through. 2 people a must. Pull floor, this is easier if you loosen the rear seat just a little. Tape, (lots) the new rudder end onto old steering rack end. My 13 old daughter pulled while I fed the new cable through the boat. Will get sticky as you past the bulkhead at the gastank but just be patience. You'll be done in under and hour after you've dis-connected the old one from the rudder.
