Default Re: Control Cables TFTextreme or standard

I've run the Teleflex TFT Extreme cables on my last two boats and love them.
I have them on my Tsunami for both the outdrive and the kicker.I had to make a couple tight radius bends on the kicker and the Extreme cables seem to provide a much smoother and easier movement over the standard cables.

I went this route because of the difficult routing I had to make for the kicker.On a pretty straight forward run the standard cables will usually work fine.

John,
Thanks for the input. The previous arrangement had some unnecessary turns which I'll probably change. I thought TFTextremes might offer greater throttle sensitivity, too.

Its a solid piece of wire, it either slides or it doesn't LOL bending to much can make it not slide though but I never had an issue with cables on mine (except knots), just standard.
