cable

My shifter have never operated smoothly. And the tilt switches will sometimes not work. I think I just want to replace the entire assembly, from the control box to the engines...I assume the tilt will just be simple wires. Any advice as I plan on this project. And where to get parts? Thanks...

Just got my 2003, 400 hr, 5.0 L, 21' Bowrider with power steering out for first time. Prior boats were 150 hp+ outboards with manual steering. Surprised that new steering is not as light as a car's. Also, there is about 3/4" center play measured on perimeter of steering wheel. Quickly got...

How should I maintain sticky shift throttle control on 2003 Alpha 1 with 400 hrs? Bought the boat in fall but just got it out. Works great but much heavier feel than prior outboards. The shift/throttle stalk is heavy and sticky around neutral/vertical. What would be best DIY fix? May be time...

I have to replace the cable that feeds from the radome antenna on the top of the spoiler down to the GPS Display monitor. It looks as if getting from the antenna and down the side to the seats would not be a problem; and I can see it from the monitor to behind the beverage holder on the right...

I own a 1989 Sea Ray 180 CB with a Mercruiser 3.0L engine in it, Alpha One drive. The steering has become really stiff during last season and some reading around here pointed to the steering cable needing to be replaced. My mechanic confirmed this, but he also said he couldn't find spare parts...

Hello, I have not had my 44 Sundancer long enough to know how to get cable tv below deck while docked and plugged into the marinas cable? I get it on the cockpit tv but when I go through all the inputs on the other tv's it never comes up? I'm hoping this is a simple fix or a switch I'm missing...

I am only able to send and recieve on my Norstar NS100 at close range. The VHF performs the same when I completly remove the antenna cable from the main unit, so I am conviced I either have a bad antenna or a bad cable run to my antena from the VHF. I have checked all cable connections to the...

I have a 2002 260 SunDancer w/the 6.2 MPI Merc....the thumb depress button on the shift/throttle arm doesn't need to be depressed to shift into Fwd/Rvrs. And even when you do depress it, it doesnt do anything. It wouldnt bother me all that much if it wasnt making it very diffucult to shift...

My wife and I just bought an '08 47DB and are having difficulty getting the tv system to work. The boat has a bose system which I believe the tv's run through, but the cable tv through our dock won't pick up reception other than channel 54.1. We live and are docked in the Baltimore Harbor and...

I have a 1988 seville 100hp o/b motor and the slowest idle speed is 5mph and in neutral revs at 1500rpms... this is way to fast to get in my slip with ease. whats the best way to adjust the idle down. Should i adjust it at the throttle lever or at the motor, which is the easier fix. Thanks

Hi Gang - About a year ago I had the bellows and shift cable replaced on my Alpha One outdrive. The shift into forward now takes a longer travel to engage, and it slowly seems to be getting worse. The original mechanic is several hundred miles away, so I'd like to know if someone can recommend...
