Tips for throttle control cable replacement?

[gofastsandman]

Lost the cable on the muffs in the driveway after a little fish yesterday. 1 Bonita. Real tight tight and choppy and was draggin Todds Lures, which we all need to buy more of for the cause.

`96 Rude 150 factory box.

Beginning the research now. Search comes up w/ 17 ft for older 20 sf, but will pull part # and call Slacker.

Whats a good lube for pullin? WD? Worked well for the ducer cable.
My thinking on adjustment is to leave as much room for stretching as possible.

Thoughts please.

Ziggy is commin down 4-12/4-17 and I must be ready!

Thanks gang,
GFS

sandy, i would think maybe just get some wire pulling lube from home depot. i think they have it there. if not i can send u a bottle of it.

Your cable will have the length embossed about 2 ft from the motor end - I just used Dawn and some spit to pull my ducer cable, I had been dreading do it - slid right up.

Hey Sandy I'm getting all DIY - checkout my new post on combing bolsters and seats for DIY'ers - found a great vinyl site. I'm thinking of bolsters doing the pleated with the welping stuff so it looks sewn, 1" foam under - it sure looks easy and I have plywood left over.

By the way as soon as I can get Susan to do some pic's you need to do the sleeping platform - Bahamas or the keys would be an easy inexpensive weekend run for you that way without a lodging cost, bait and tackle not included in the inexpensive part LOL

It would be easier to do a video so I could show how easy it stores and goes up, I can do pics but no idea on video - anybody???

my first thought was dish soap but its supposed to cut grease right? dont throttle and shift cables have some grease to keep moving freely? thats why i decided on the wire pulling lube.

Hey ESD,
Regarding video you can load it on photobucket.com like below or youtube or whatever...

Sandy, I just pulled my cables and found them marked on the shifter end. Mine are for merc but it is logical to mark them on the more protected end...

I just think it would be better to show it that way then list the materials - thanks

I guess the steering is on the motor end LOL

Thx Gang,
Evan,
Did you see the pic of the tackle insert?

Dixon ,
Good to see you getting all DIY.

Gillie,
From what I`m reading folks really seem to love the Xtreme as they are really smoooooth. Worth a few more clams to me.

Cheers,
GFS

Sandy don't forget to strip out the inner SS cable - great fish wires
