Control cable Length on 23 CC
 

Can anyone tell me how the control cable lengths are derived? Overall length (end to end) or are they measured from the knob at the binicle side to the adjustment knob on the engine side?
I think I need 20 ft. cables as that is what an old one measures between the knobs.
What size cables are you 23' CC guys using? I guess this is another way to doublecheck.

Thanks Dink

20's will work fine. I just ordered some new cables and I ordered 22's for my 23cc with a 30 inch bracket. The ones that I pulled out of my 23cc were 16 feet end to end.

So it's safe to assume that the Hydraulic hoses of a SeaStar system would need to be 20' also????

You know somebody needs to gimme a crack up da side of the head. My cables are 20' but run from the console down out and back up to my transmission and motor under my console. Dont know what the heck I was thinking- [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] The cable steering control from my old teleflex system is also 20' but since my boat is an inboard I am going to cease and desist answering from an i/b perspective- sorry guys [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Rich...lemme guess you want cables too?? LOL

Re: Control cable Length on 23 CC
 

Yep..

I need to buy controls and all the rigging for my engine plus I need to buy a hydralic steering system.

I've asked the same question in a previous post, but didn't get a direct answer. The responses were always the procedure on how to measure for the correct length, the problem is that the console is not installed in the boat yet, so I would be guessing at the actual length needed.

Rich- If you get 20 foot hydraulic hoses it will be more then enough.
