Experts--
Got a question and need the wisdom of you boys-- concerning my shift/throttle cable run from my 30HP merc to the standard merc side mount control box
The cable run is to a new center center console on my 1648 mod and I dont want to run out and around the gunwale, I want to run down to floor, up the spine and then up to center console where the side mount control box will be located. this is alot of bends and turns-
A) CAN I DO THIS? Is is smart? etc.
B) How much room will I need for the wide bends? as the cables cant just be bent 90 degrees etc. as in will the stick out
See diagram Pic below - I guess I got the same issue with the steering cable too?
I can replace the existing 9' cables with 14' for roughly $60
