209 ® HOW TO MEASURE CONTROL CABLES “MEASURE TWICE. ORDER ONCE.” FOR A NEW INSTALLATION: Measure cable routing path from control head attachment point to engine connection, as follows: OUTBOARDS: Measure from control along unobstructed cable routing to center of outboard. Add four feet to allow for loop, which provides unrestricted engine movement. Round up to the next foot and order required cable part number. (Last two digits of cable part number equal cable length in feet.) INBOARDS & STERN DRIVES: Measure from control along unobstructed cable routing to shift and/or throttle connection. Round this dimension up to the next foot and order required cable part number. (Last two digits of cable part number equal cable length in feet.) CONTROL CABLE LENGTH IN FEET TYPICAL OUTBOARD CABLE ROUTING: TYPICAL STERN DRIVE (I/O) OR INBOARD CABLE ROUTING: FOR REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING CABLE: If you removed the old cable, measure for replacement cable as follows: Measure from tip to tip and round up to the next foot, if necessary (aftermarket cables are sold in foot increments up to 30 feet. After that use only even foot increments). The control cable part number contains its length. SeaStar Solutions cables are usually listed as CC???XX, where XX = length in feet. FOR EXAMPLE: Part Number CCX63320 = 20 ft. CCX633 Control Cable or Morse ® Part Number *032377-03-240.0 = 20 ft. 33C Control Cable (240" = 20') * This cable is no longer available.
