When I got my 84 18' Ranger two years ago, it needed just one 12 foot Morse cable. I changed it with no difficulty, running it through the original hole not made for a jack plate. Not too long ago one of the techs on here mentioned that if you run the cable through the same hole it will be bent more than normal. I certainly could see that when I replaced it! Although it's still easy enough to steer I can already feel it getting harder to turn. My question is: When I have to replace this cable again and make another hole so that there is not such a severe bend in it, is it likely that the standard 12 cable will fit? I've only seen these cables in one foot increments.
