Cool Shift Cable

Make sure that you install an adequate cable. A previous owner of our Tartan 30 had installed a 3200 series cable - OK for gas or choke, but not up to moving the reversing gear. If you can manage to fit a 6400 series cable (5/16 -24 threaded ends) do so. Judging from the original mounting holes, that is what the Tartan started with. Be sure to get the proper brackets and clevis for both ends. Our local marine stores had a pitiful collection of cables (except for stinkpots) but on the web Jamestown Distributors have a good stock and delivered one to me in three days.
