the Yanmar dealer for this area.  410-263-8370

Rick, 

My cable snapped right at the end where the  swaged end meets the cable in
the binnacle. When I looked at things in the  engine room I could not see
any problems. It was only when I disassembled  the binnacle that I found the
issue. Did not do a root cause analysis. The  shifter handle operates
smoothly and did not seem to need new bushings or  anything. It was my
opinion that it was just old age that caused the break.  In the two seasons
since the cable was replaced, I have experienced no  issues. 

I have since made it a habit of doing the annual maintenance  recommended by
Edson which includes greasing the linkage and I have seen no  evidence of
corrosion during those inspections. 

My boat lives on  the upper Chesapeake Bay, which is brackish, and not very
salty compared to  the ocean. We're somewhere between fresh and salty.
