Measuring for new shift/throttle control cables

[waterbill]

I bought a used center console skiff with short, improperly-measured cables. They are worn out now. What is the proper way to determine the length I need to purchase? Any help will be appreciated. I can't use the old cables as a guide, because they ran them straight back beneath the floor to the engine--with no loop(that's partially why they are shot--bent up and frayed).

This publication by Teleflex should be able to help you out, even if the system you have now is not teleflex. You want the Controls Manuals for throttle & shift cables.<br /><br /> Teleflex Marine Guides
