    Fiberglass Hull Restoration

    Yep, wetsand, by hand. The Harbor freight buffers are pretty good these days. They have a good assortment of pads and actually sell good compounds. You tube has some good wetsand vids and buffing stuff.

    Mercury 25hp throttle/shift cable replacement?

    I have found that with older controls there is sometimes enough wear in all the parts to reduce the travel. Not one part is actually worn to the point of falling apart, just collective slop. I have stopped fixing older controls, teleflex aftermarket controls are what I go to these days.

    Rotary Steering Cable.

    Look at your old cable, the part number stamped into cover will give you the length of the old cable.

    There is no repair for cable issues. Just replace. and if 1 cable has issues, I replace both at same time.

    Throttle levers 'stiff' at higher RPM?

    Check for worn motor mounts, perhaps there is movement that is causing some binding.

    Difficult to shift into forward 1998 4.3 mercruiser alpha 1 gen 1

    If adjusted properly and still have issues with shifting, I usually find it to be a lower shift cable issue.
