How To Measure For Control Cable Install

FOR NEW INSTALLATION, measure A + B distance from the control along an unobstructed cable routing to clutch and / or throttle connection. Round this dimension off to the next whole foot: you will have your cable length. We recommend that the cable bends have a minimum radius of about 8” (200 mm). For outboard engine installations, it is necessary to add three feet to the obtained length, in order to allow the engine movement.

To determine the needed length of the REPLACEMENT CABLE, measure it from tip to tip. When ordering, specify the cable length in feet, rounding the dimension off to the next whole value. If any kit is required to complete the cable connection, you will need to consult the control cable engine connection kits.

CONTROL CABLE CROSS REFERENCE GUIDE

The chart below is a cross reference chart on what engines require what control cables. In the chart below list two types of cables . One is a standard series and the other is what we call the Mach series cable which is heavy duty. Both cables will work for your application but the Heavy duty cables will last longer, because they are more robust.
