So I was taking the boat out yesterday for a shakedown run before I go to the Island on the weekend for my first fishing trip of the year and found my throttle cable would not fully engage. I can push it forward but only get about 25% of the binnacle forward. If I force it, I feel it will break. It's in the shop, but, I'm worried with my tight time line that they may not have it done in time. It's a **** off because I had the cables replaced two or three years ago. Anyway, I may plan as a contingency to buy a couple of cables and prepare to install myself if my mechanics don't get it done. I've got a Yamaha F225 2003 with a 704 dual binnacle. Anybody every replace these? Where's the best place to buy the cables in Vancouver? Any tips tricks? How tough is it to connect at the binnacle end? Should I replace the shift cable and throttle as same time or just the shift cable? Based on my quick research it looks like I need 22 ft cables made by teleflex.
