It's not "the old cable system." It's Teleflex's "No Feedback System,"
which has a single push/pull cable coming out of the helm. It is in
common use on many outboard boats.

Got one on my pontoon with a 60. It is actually a pretty nice helm.
You can set the wheel and let go, no torque steer.
Mine came apart so I got a chance to see what it looks like inside.
There is a drum with 6 decreasing radius cam cuts in it and 6 rollers.
When driven from the wheel end the rollers spin free but when driven
from the cable end they jam.
I did manage to get it all put back together again.
Regular readers may remember my "check your bolts" warning.

Most of my outboard boats of recent vintage had that steering system. In
fact, my current Parker had it...but I had it swapped out for hydraulic.
I didn't have any problems with it, but I got a few complaints about
"overcoming" prop torque.
