Whether or not the cables cross in the pedestal depends on whether your
boat has a quadrant or a radius wheel. A quadrant is normally mounted on
the forward side of the rudder shaft. I had to replace the sheave
assembly at the base of the pedestal on my 36 and the most challenging
part was hooking up the cables to the wheel on the rudder shaft. Not
rocket science any of it, but you need to be a contortionist to get at
it. I removed the scupper hose in order to gain better access.

The first time I had to replace the steering cable I was advised to use
a coat hanger with a loop at the end and bent at a 90° angle to use as a
guide . Worked pretty well. Note that the cables cross in the
pedestal.
