Does anybody have a specific length for these cables?
I am looking to replace the cables on my 1987 Hunter Legend 37 and was just told by the guys at Edson that my rough measurements had to be way off and they don't even sell lengths this long. To be fair, I was very rough in my measurements because I just put the boat on the hard and it is very difficult to move things around and I can only be there for 30 minutes at a time (yard rules). So, my measurements are rough but look like this:
Throttle (Red) = 32" (inside engine compartment) + 24" (engine compartment to aft berth) + 96" (aft berth to aft locker) + 48" (cabin sole vertical to steering quadrant area) + 48" (steering quadrant area forward to binnacle base) + 28" (length inside binnacle according to Edson) = 276" = 23'
Transmission (Black) = 60" (curves forward then aft inside engine compartment) + 24" (engine compartment to aft berth) + 96" (aft berth to aft locker) + 48" (cabin sole vertical to steering quadrant area) + 24" (across steering quadrant area) + 48" (steering quadrant area forward to binnacle base) + 28" (length inside binnacle according to Edson) = 328" = 27' 4"
The boat is in Mexico and tomorrow we are heading back to the US for a couple of months. I was hoping to have these parts ordered so we can come back with them. If I can't confirm dimensions, I might have to try to source them locally when I get back.
Any help would be appreciated! I've included photos of the current state of the transmission cable just for fun.
