330 Express Question

[HMBJack]

Has anyone changed the shifter cables on your 330 Express?

My Port side shifter cable is stiff and needs replacing.
Need to determine the Teleflex cable length for the Port side.
I have a 2006 330 with F250's.

Thanks if you happen to know the cable length for this.

The cable length is often printed on the cable outer sheath but often fades away. Try looking near the helm where the cable gets less exposure to sun and elements. Try looking in the bilge too.
My experience with Grady support with cable lengths is mixed. I had a case where they gave me the wrong spec. That was due to a mid year hull change that altered how the cables were run. Since that job, I prefer to either find the actual markings or pull the old cable and measure before buying.

Agreed. Always best to see the actual cable being removed. Just trying to minimize down time.

Thanks,

What i did with my sailfish was to disconnect the cable from the shifter & engine & pull out center leaving the outer shield for a snake, measured the inner cable for length & then used the outer shield to pull through the new cable. I also was not sure of the cable length.
