Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: How long control cables for 16' Nauset

I have been getting nothing but great advise on my 16' nauset rebuild. I have decided to repower with a 2012 Yamaha F70 4 stroke. How long do I tell the dealer to order the Control cables and wiring harness? Running a standard console in the normal factory position.

Thanks

Cables should be 18' under most circumstances. The ignition harness will problably come in 5' increments, so 20' would be correct.

See this recent discussion on the subject;

I was wondering the exact same question for my f70 that is going on the 1989 montauk. I have to rig it up and from the link above on the subject and from other research i have done it seems like people are recommending 15 or 16 ft cables. i guess i am wondering if yamaha cables come in 5' increments. I would like the cables to be set up right, but i also want the minimum amt of extra cables. I was the pics of toby port's montauk with f70 (fellow member) but i cant find the thread. His rigging on his boat looked perfect.
