Hunter 386 Throttle/Shifter cable replacement

[Gary Ryan]

Hey Guys, we have a 2002 Hunter 386 with the larger console. May have to change out the throttle/shifter cables. Just wondering how they route from the Morse MV throttle control down to the Engine. Thanks,

What size engine do you have and model number?

This should help you on throttle control.

My wife and I replaced cables on our 1999 - 380. In the direction we did the installation. They routed from the engine and transmission under the aft berth into the swim platform lazarettes then up in that area and under the cockpit floor into the pedestal and up to the Throttle/Shifter. I ran a tracer line on each one as I removed them. At the same time I upgraded the Morse MV to a compatible, better quality SeaStar. Only a slight bit of fibreglass work.

Most stiff control cables can be lubricated with oil or use a penetrating oil.

I lubricate my cable once a season.
