Re: 1990 force l-drive shift cable
Well unfortunately I couldn't see a part number on mine. So I don't think I'm gonna be much help. Sorry.<br /><br />However, from what I remember, the teleflex number in your post is the cross reference number that I found independently at that which West Marine recommended. $39.95 was the price I think that West Marine wanted.<br /><br />I didn't want to wait a week and wanted to make sure that I got the correct connection ends. So, like I said before, I went to a Bayliner dealer and asked for the specific part, he had one. It was identical in length and connection ends so I was sure it would fit. I paid quite a bit more!!!<br /><br />Interesting how your cable is 14' and mine is 15'. It seems as if I do have quite a bit of "extra" cable loop by the outdrive.<br /><br />The part that broke. Is that the "clip" that goes in the groove of the cable that attaches the cable to the shifter? If it is, I've had problems with that as well that has left me stranded twice. The screw for that clamp has backed out on me. One time, it left me in forward so I was able to get home. Another time it left me in neutral, but was able to get into the water and move the shifter to forward gear and then get home.<br /><br />So now, I check that clamp screw as part of my preflight check before every outing.<br /><br />I think you'll be fine with the teleflex cable. Are you replacing the cable as it is stiff?
