My boat is 15 years old and I have always used it mostly in salt water. It has been sitting for about a year due to a bad running engine and other minor problems. I just put a new (used) new to me anyway outboard on it and took it out for a test run today. It apears my engine problems are solved for now and I am going to spend the next couple of weeks repairing the other issues I have had.
This leads to my question. I am going through all the accessary wireing trying to make the boat as trouble free as possible. I was wondering if while rewireing if I should go ahead and replace the teleflex throttle & shift cables? I don't think I have ever replaced them, am I due for a breakdown or should I just leave them alone as long as they work? I guess what I am asking is, is it a good idea to replace old teleflex cables or do they last?
