[C320-list] Throttle and shifter cables

[Gene Gammon]

I bought the shut down cable on Ebay that shows it at 12'.
Yanmar 129470-67550 Cable Engine Stop Long 12 Ft - 4 meters Genuine OEM<http://www.ebay.com/itm/222446004572>
Item price      $38.99

Maybe the shift cables will be a couple feet longer.
Try eBay or Edson or Catalina Direct.

I had mine replaced when I bought the boat in 2010, the yard in Connecticut did it, and the seller paid for it. I think he was ripped off as the yard chose the most expensive procedure to do the replacement. The way to do it is to dismount the binnacle and slip the cables up to their control levers.(You’ll need to remove the compass). That way it is easy to get at the cable grabber halfway up the binnacle. The yard did not dismount the binnacle and they took hours to get at the cable grabber which keeps the cables from interfering with the steering. That said I have no idea of the cable part number, but I’ll bet the folks at Catalina in FL will have this info.
