Welcome aboard. Are you talking about the shift cable? (Down to the outdrive) Or control cable? (From the shift controller to the stern). Either one is available from just about anywhere you can buy parts. I would suggest buying the complete cable, not just the inner core wire. Not much more money and it is simply a better way to do it.

Thanks foks, i am talking about the control cable from the shift to stern, just like the picture Bt doctur posted( thanks btw ) the year on my 215e stern is about 1970 s/n 2782203-2909034 the engine is an ford 302 mercruiser 215E. The problem " Fishermark is I can't buy parts to this old lady " I was thinking to use an old speedometer cable from a car what do you people think about that ???

I have the same problem. I tried a choke cable. Used a screwdriver for the end. Some serious grinding. Seems little large. Would like schematic. Can you post it so future 215 e have access to it ? Also what year and make is the boat ?

Would like schematic. Tried making one with manual choke cable. Little large. Can you post it?
