This is the ideal set up. On some boats (such as my ex Cat 27) it was necessary to modify to achieve this. The cable was suspended in space between the cockpit and carb until I fixed it. In any case the swivel on the movable arm on a late model carb will compensate for any angle that the cable approaches the carb and allow for full movement of the movable arm.
