Sorry, I dont remember. Before I ordered them, I just ran a tape measure along the expected routing, then ordered the next longer cable. Just make sure you get good quality cables that have alot of flex. The bend up front is tight for cheaper cables.
I noticed your tab adjustment levers are close to your gear shift/throttle levers. Do you have enough room to get to them when throttling in the rough? Do you adjust the tabs much in high speed rough water rides? Rob |

KellyO,
I have posted these pics before, but its no problem to post again. My cables come up under the gunnels, then swing around the front of the indicators and attach to the indicators from the front. Now, Livorsi makes those neat pop up indicators. They may fit as well as the thin line I used. Vinny |

Do you have part numbers on the order. What did cost, if you don't mind me asking?
I got a 16 and 20 ft. cable for my ZT280. Those lengths leave a little extra for the cleanest install. |

In the bays, I just leave them up. Vinny |

Thanks. My indicator is up at the top of that dash section where your accessory bracket is, so I am trying bottom-fed indicator. I really wanted the stick indicator but there were no mounting options to get it to work.
Bottom feeding the indicators would be easier if you have the room to move the indicators higher than I did. Rob, If you run them like I did, you need longer cables than KellyO used. |
Thank you Vinny and KellyO for the info. Now I have a plan. To execute the plan I am going to have to convince my wife it will improve slow speed handling making the boat safer to drive with small children onboard. This could take a while.

It does improve low speed as well. Tabs are the only way to get rid of that porpoising this boats exhibit at low speeds.

I agree. It still will be difficult to convince the better half of the upgrade. |

It would be easier to convince her if you installed a governor on your beer drinking hand and stayed out of the dog house! :evilb:
