I am in search of a controller cable for a 1972 Hydro Electric Controller. In need of the actual throttle cable. About 12 feet long. Goes with a Johnson 85 hp that has the electric shift. I have found some used but most are as bad as the one I have (very tight and will not allow enough movement to operate the electric shift properly).

Any parts emporiums with a stack of these cables in "New Old Stock" that anyone can point me to?

Thanks in advance!

They sell the cables right here on I-boats.

Read the rules at the top of the forum. It's not nice to hi-jack a thread. Please start a new one !

Really?? Their website shows them as being in stock. Johnson Type 400 Control Cables - iboats
Maybe they are just out of them at the moment. If so, any legitimate marine dealer can get them for you from their Teleflex distributor. It is a Teleflex Type 400 cable X length desired. I presume an Evinrude dealer can also get you an original equipment cable, but I haven't checked to see if they are still available.

EDIT: OEM part number for a 12 footer is 377372. Much more expensive than the Teleflex though. So most people use Teleflex.

I wasn't trying to high jack the thread I was trying to get some insight on this motor since very few people have posted on such a motor...and I am on a timeline on getting it fixed...

That's the email response they sent me so your guess as good as mine????

Thanks for all the info though. I found a local supplier that thinks they can get it in by tomorrow. One step closer to being in the water!!!
