Did a quick search, and couldn't find an answer, so I'll start a new thread. I may need to replace my throttle and shift cables on my 2009 CD-25, single screw, and wondering if anyone knows what length cables are needed. They run from the throttle at the helm, down inside the starboard gunnel, to a single outboard in the center of the transom. TIA. Colby
 
Should be a # on the existing cables about every 18" or so that has the length. ;)(y)(y)
21 or 22' rings a bell I changed mine last year, if the boat was here I would go look!

Found it. Thanks. 24’
 
Leave one in there and use it for a fish tape to get the new ones in!

Yep. That is my plan. I also purchased a couple of coupling nuts to connect the cables together to make it easier to just pull them thru.
:cool: (I've also pulled out my drawers, and their cabinet, under the helm seat for better access, along with the side compartment in the cockpit.) Just waiting on the cables, which should be here Friday or Saturday.
 
(y) (y) (y) Have a good one!!!!
 
We keep a spool of 500 feet of 1/8" solid nylon line to use as a follower. Every time we pull a wire or cable, there is a pull line attatched with a knot and many times covered with electrical tape, to smooth the knot where attatched to whatever is being pulled for future use. There are also many uses for the 1/8" cord, as well as smaller venitian blind cord at 1.8 mm which has a number of uses also. These in bulk run about $20 for 500 feet--which may be a life time use. We prefer the solid braid, over the cored line. I will usually put a lable on each end, with date and what it pulled on both ends, which are usually tied to some "solid" object with a bowline or clove hitch, and two half hitches. Sort of the duct tape of boating. (which we also carry)

Could be a good idea. However, I do have plenty of other line on the boat, larger of course, for various uses. Fortunately, at home I have two electrical fishing tapes.
:)
However, in this case, having a coupling nut to attach the old and new cable together should be the easiest method to pull the new cable in.
:cool:
