3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22

The shift shifter control has “Morse Controls” “Hudson Ohio” on it If anyone knows the correct part number and the correct length. I ordered one, but it was not the correct one. Thanks in advance for your help! Bill

Can you recommend where I can get the correct cable the has the threaded end on the control side and plastic end with hole to fit a Johnson 70 on the other? I didn’t see a part number in the post, only a length. Thanks again, Billy

Used to be Teleflex, then Seastar and now Domestic. Here is an example of the Steering cable that has the Quick Disconnect. https://www.amazon.com/SeaStar-Soluti...&psc=1 Not exactly sure what you have but you can buy the QC adapter at the bottom of the page or buy an entire complete new NFB system. Again, not sure what shape your system is in. https://www.amazon.com/Dometic-SeaSta...&psc=1 Just a few examples and options.

Since the boat is 1974, I am assuming the engine is also. Only buy the new Dometic XTREME cables, the smoothest made. Such as here: https://www.dometic.com/en-us/outdoor...633-244852 for the engine end fittings, see here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/390664539726...gIbS_D_BwE You may be able to remove the end fittings from your old cables and install them on the new cable? You may be able to shop around and find better pricing than indicated here. But I assure you, these are the items you need. if you engine is a different year, you can search out the correct end fittings

I will investigate and order. Do you know if the correct length is 18’? I’m trying to order the correct part so I can take apart and put back together the same day. Thanks again
