[C320-list] Throttle and shifter cables

[Gene Gammon]

When you take off the compass there is a SS screw on top of the metal casting that the throttle shaft goes through for adjustment for the throttle tension.
Shows this also in the Edson manual that came with the boat manual.

Speaking of throttle cables, our throttle needs to be held "at speed" either by hand or with a little bungee cord. If I let go of the throttle, it will always drop back to idle. Any suggestions? Our original surveyor thought that I could simply add a clamp somewhere along the cable's run that would add resistance to the movement.

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.

Hello all:
I want to replace my shifter and throttle cables, which I believe are original and don’t move easily. But my local Yanmar dealer has gone dumb on me and can’t provide the right replacement cables. The manual also doesn’t appear to say what they are.
Does anyone know the length and type of these cables? I’m guessing the shifter is 12 feet and the throttle is 14. Teleflex or Morris are the likely manufacturers.
Thanks in advance, as always.
