I recently bought a 2001 Hunter 260 and have been giving it a very thorough going over. I was testing the Yamaha 9.9 outboard out (runs great thankfully!) when I discovered I couldn't put it into reverse. I assumed it was just a matter of adjusting the cable a little, but it turns out the cables are absolutely shot. The outer wires are rusted out completely in some spots and have stretched so much I don't have enough adjustment room to make them work. I know I need to replace them, but I can't find replacements. I've scoured the internet and have looked at every cable out there. None of them have connectors like these.
Has anyone else seen these? Do you know where I can get replacements? Are there any work arounds? The cables are about 6' long (4' would work fine) and they appear to be made by Yamaha. The throttle cable still moves very nicely so I've been considering the option of building a short manual linkage arm and just reaching back to change gears.
