1988 Sea Ray Sundancer Throttle cables

[oilmatt]

I have a 1988 Sea Ray Sundancer with twin 5.7 liter Mercs and IO's. My port side throttle cable is stiff making docking almost impossible. Does anyone know where I can get this part?

Upper cable or lower? I've had my lowers replaced twice in 7 years and that helped my shifting greatly. I don't know where to get the uppers besides a merc dealer. Look at the cables and see if there is any info printed on the jacket that would help identify the length, type etc.

I disconnected the shift cable and isolated the throttle cable from the front controls. this is he cable that is causing he problem. The dealer wants engine serial numbers I cannot find them.

I probably won't be back under the shrink wrap on my boat until sometime next week, and I can't remember for sure, but there should be some kind of identifying markings on the housings of your present cables.

Just replaced all four upper cables on mine. Haven't even started it yet, since then.
Completely, (and I mean completely) tore down the shifter controls and greased all with 2-4-c according to the manual.
Winter storm coming today....again..
So...I'll let you all know soon, hopefully....
