1983 Catalina36 #99 steering cable broke

my steering cable broke from the chain   I am having trouble finding how the cable was run  with a sleeve that was in pieces   edson says I have a disaster on my hands.  There are no pulleys

If I recall correctly from previous postings, Catalina abandoned the sleeve system after the 1984 model, and switched to the pulley system.  See this thread:  https://www.catalina36.org/forum/technical-discussion/early-mk1-steering 
See if you can contact the Commodore, Les Troyer; I think he has a boat with this system (or did)....

Hm.  Sounds like you may need a new system with the pulleys.  Our '91 that I did a lot of work on has pulleys.
