I had a Teleflex system on my '69 Whaler Nauset, don't have any idea what model it was, but I had to replace the stern seals twice. I never had a problem with the helm seals, probably since they were protected by the console unlike the stern one that was always exposed to the elements.

I'm absentee owner, so I guess he just thinks I won't check.
A Whaler forum is where I found the step by step repair and tracked down the parts. My 86 Mauntauk didn't have a Teleflex system, but that is because I stupidly (got tickets for over powered) ripped the 90 Merc off it and replaced it with a used 120 Evinrude with Morse controls and steering.
