The remote cables for my 1985 Yamaha 40 are way too long. Can they be shortened of will I need to replace them with a shorter set. Thanks for your input.
Shorter set if available. I opened up the the helm control cable handle to see if I could shorten the cables for my Yamaha kicker (snip the wire ends and reconnect).....way too much going on in there. I actually felt a little lucky cramming all the wires and such back together without messing something up. I was told to bundle the excess length.
Exactly my suspicion. I don't thing they cost very much and it is probably a much bigger task then you might expect and probably way above my pay grade. Thank you.
Jim - If you need new cables, be sure to buy the SeaStar Solutions (Teleflex) XTREME cables.
They are the smoothest in operation of any on the market and top of the line. I use them exclusively. I think a Yamaha control to Yamaha outboard uses the universal ends type, #3300.
