Just read through this thread and others that I searched. I am in the processs of replacing both indicater cables. How does the plastic faceplate come off? Is it held on by the four fasteners underneath located at the four corners? Since there is no way to get behind the dash of a straight bottom gun, Will the assembly come out of the hole that the trim/drive faceplate covers....? OR Will I have to bring it out from under the mane dash panel that wraps around the compus..?
Any ideas......... Suggestions..........
Thanks

The back portion is smaller than the front so if they cut it right you should be able to pull it up through the hole after removing the faceplate.

Yeah, they are held by a bracket and the heads screw on the cable ends, it is pretty self explanitory when you get in there, watch for the springs in the pointers and the spacers on the bolts and you should be fine.

put a stick pin through them and use that to hold the top and spring in place, then when it is back together pull the pin out, in the diagram it's called an alignment wire. I just did mine on my tiger.

Thanks to BillR, all cable lengths for a Top Gun.

Cable lengths:
Trim Tab:
P-26
S-21

OutDrive:
P-25
S-24

Throttles:
P-24
S-22

Shift:
P-24
S-22

Might be good to jot these down for future reference.

FYI- I'm not sure where BILLR got these lengths but they are different from the stock cigarette cables in my '97 top gun. I pulled mine out this weekend and measured them...twice.

TABS- S-21"/ P-25"

OUTDRIVES- S-23"/ P-24"

I'm glad I didn't order my new ones yet!!

I need shift cables ... from the controls back to the motors ...do I have to get the standard bare end cables (10-32)? They Make a style with the Merc ends on one end and a 10-32 on the other ... The controls Are "k" and have the hook that attaches to the control ... I am at work today and cant look at them and need to order .... thanks ...m

33,35 or 30 Series ... I know the 33 will work but would be nice to have the new ends .....
