[C320-list] Throttle and shifter cables

[Doug Treff]

5 years ago, I had to do my shift cable. While in there, I replaced both
cables. You do NOT want to do this job more than once, so go ahead and
spend the extra $40 and do both cables while you're at it. Here is a
link on how to do this process. Assuming you have the Edson pedestal,
this would be the procedure. The below deck part would obviously be
different, but the steering pedestal part is the most difficult and
non-intuitive part. The rest is fairly straight forward.

The process in the web link is for a different make/model of boat, but  it was 
the same for me.  And I was able to do my own cable replacement and save the 
yard bill.
