Kiekhaefer drive trim position indicator cable
Does any body know where I can buy a replacement cable that works with the Kiekhaefer aeromarine trim position indicator cables? They will fit on a 1988 Cig Bullet. Thanks

should be standard 33c red jacket style cables I suggest using the supreme version available through any marine suplier. The length of the cable should be stamped in the end of the jacket and is measured in inches.

Are the actuators that are attached to the drivesin this picture Mercury? If so, does anybody know the procedure to attach the cable into the actuator?

The attachment at the Actuator is easy, remove the band clamps, remove the Actuator, unscrew the cap, slide the piston out, remove the sloted washer holding the spring tension, unscrew the piston from the cable, slide the cable out. The other end is the difficult end. Hard to get to, small spring loaded pins, springs on the mounting studs, etc. Useally takes 6-8 hours to change all the cables out. Be careful to not drop any of the pieces at the indicator end.
