Tips for throttle control cable replacement?

[gofastsandman]

Sandy, Glad you got your cables in. I'm not in a big hurry now 'cuz I'm going to redo the transom and that's gonna take a while ... regarding your rubber goop idea I wonder if isn't there a grommet there that resides in the cowling for that purpose?

You have a full plate indeed.

The end of the cable crimps are exposed beyond the grommet outside the lower cowl.

Had Honey Dews for breakfast....but splashed in the ski lake this afternoon. Very smooth. The old cables were 1/4" and the Xtremes are 3/8". I followed the manual for set up as Janet spun the prop. She now knows what a prop is and even what it does. Still working on the battery switch and starting procedure.
Cheers,
