I bought a cheap shift cable for $10 on eBay I just learned my lesson that was two months ago today the end was all dry rotted so now I have to order the good one from Quicksilver very easy to change but I learned my lesson you get what you pay for

Quicksilver buys their cables from Morse or SeaStar (formerly Teleflex)

OK I changed out the shift Cable Bello The one that I put in at the end of May was completely dry rotted and falling apart it was one of the $10 ones on eBay but I’m having one heckuva time getting my shift cable Adjusted I’ve done it 100 times I’ll work on it tomorrow it’s dark out and 830 now. Yes I put it in gear pushed and Cable just said it to 6 inches I don’t know I’m just tired right now
