I want to buy the right length cable before I install it. 1994 2 stroke with a yam binnacle, look to be original cables. Heard somewhere the length is marked on them somewhere. Any truth to this ?

Pull the old cable, measure it and order a new one !
-
Yes. For new Yamaha cables.
Can't comment on 22 year old cables. I don't even know the brand of cable that is in the boat.Comment
-
typically for the past 20 odd years the length and part number is stamped in the cable jacket.
some in ft some in inch.Comment
-
from the used parts I see on eBay, seems likely the cable is marked - somewhere.
Doesn't appear to be necessarily near either end, though...

Mine are. I guess the best way to see if yours are is to take a look!Originally posted by scofflaw View PostChuck,

Want the correct cable in hand and attached to the old cable before I pull it through, it's a seriously tight fit under my deck. No markings on the 2 ft. I can see by the binnacle. Motor end is sun washed, and 12 feet under deck is inaccessible. If I could view the whole cable, it would be easy enough just to measure itOriginally posted by cpostis View PostComment

Pull a 1/4 inch rope with the old cables and pull
new cables with the rope.Comment

I get that... In hot and sunny SWFlorida.... trying to avoid down time hunting up a new cable. May not have a choice. Even though the cable works fine, the elements have rotted the outer casing in a 2 inch spot by the engine, where I can see the inner cable.Originally posted by walleye1 View PostComment
