OT: enclosed cable / wire rope...where to find?

I'm trying to find an enclosed cable, similar to a cars speedometer cable or roto-rooter, that I can attach a hand crank/wheel or knob on one end and turn a small gear with the other end.

It's going to allow an operator to make fine or incremental adjustments to a device under 4-5ft of water.

I can't find anything (aside from an actual speedometer cable)...

Any ideas?

Thanks

I would look at maybe using a "handy tool" (Foredom) replacement cable.

Thanks for the info folks, I got picked for jury duty last week, when I got back to work they changed their minds and all this is almost moot.

I appreciate the replies though...
