Hi I need a new throttle and shift cable for my boat this year but she's still buried in storage and I can't get to her to find the length or end style of the cables. I know it's a long shot but does anyone know the teleflex part numbers and length? The boat is a 1981 22' Starcraft islander

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,.... Go dig it out, 'n measure what's there,....

A few years ago, I was doin' what yer doin', puttin' a new helm, 'n steerin' cable in,....
Rather than go measure the hull, I figured the same cable in a sister hull would be the same,....
It Weren't,....
The cable was to short,....
By abit of cheatin', I made it work, but it shoulda been a foot longer,...
So,... Don't make the same mistake I did,...

Thanks, I was hoping it was as easy as ordering a part for a car. I'll have to see if I can get into where it's stored and rip the old ones out
