thanks!

Great info and spot on. Thanks much! The new cable went in very smoothly. All the old hardware worked fine. Maybe we should start a survey on cable lengths for various boats so everyone could find what they need. The new cable also works much better. I think people should replace their ancient cable even if it isn't broken. It gives a much tighter response with less effort. So now shifting into forward is a simple click. Before, we would have to push the lever past the forward position so it would latch in place. Now, it's very direct. Reverse has a more definite position also, although I think I'll loosen it a little to give more neutral zone. We bought it from "Earl the pearl" but boatfix.com also had it in stock and their online ticket method to handle questions worked very well. Just farther away so we opted for distance instead of the $ savings. Jamestown couldt it have gotten it in a week or so...
