Great feedback guys, thank you! I now have a source to order the replacement boot. Hoping when we remove the rudder an access window won't have to be cut. We will be careful to keep outward tension on the cables.

No window needed. You don't need permanent tension on the cables. They only go about 4 inches forward until the swaged ferrule reaches the nylon tube sleeve, so just relax it forward, then pull out again when ready to reconnect. I use a suitable length single piece of string tied to both.
