"I have moved my center consol

"I have moved my center console forward two feet and I need to purchase new (longer) control cables.
Who makes or what is the best brand cables to go with?
I call one dealer and they have/say teleflex and another dealer said to go with factory cables. Who makes factory cables? Johnson/BRP?
Suggestions on the best quality and also where to get them would be great.
These are for a center console if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance,
David"
 
Teleflex is fine. Make sure y

Teleflex is fine. Make sure you take the old ones to the marina with you. Measure the distance from the motor to the new spot so the marina can give you the correct length.
 
"Benny,
Thanks for the info.

"Benny,
Thanks for the info.

Andrew,
Willard from another forum told me to check this site and I think to ask for you. At least it was for someone named Andrew.
Thanks for the info.
Anyone want to make a suggest as to what series Teleflex cables? I want the best I can get. I don't want to buy something and then find out I should have bought something different or better.
Anyone know anything about the Teleflex tfxtreme series cables?

Thanks for the help,
David"
 
"David, I'm running Morse

"David, I'm running Morse cables. Morse was bought out by Teleflex quite a few years ago and think my cables are at least 20 years old now (memory is going a little)


My point is simply, most cables are quite durable. Teleflex makes a great product and I have used them to rig numerous set-up's.

If you are running in salt water it is going to take it's toll no matter how good (or how much you pay) for cables. In fresh water they could well outlast your motor...."

"teleflex/morse cables are excellent....morse red jacket,are more durable/uv resistant."
 
Thanks everyone for the info a

Thanks everyone for the info and replies. After speaking with several boat service techs and with teleflex. I decided to buy the best cables I could. Since the cables are 20ft I was told and wanted to use the highest quality possible. I was told the longer the cables the more you should be concerned about quality.
I called Andrew from here today and got the tfxtreme cables on the way. Thanks again Andrew for the great service and great price.

David
