Default Fountain Trim Tab Indicators & Username

Is there anyone out there that has changed trim tab indicator cables on a 2007 Fountain 35 Executioner, or similar boat? Along with changing their username, I now own a Fountain , as you can see it doesn't fit. Any help somebody can give me would be much appreciated, thank you

I’ve changed the indicator cables on my 35. Not staggered but the process should be the same. The length should be within 12inches from the end. Thus far it’s always been on the dash end for me.

Length is usually part of the part number stamped on the cables and is in inches.

I've got two cables for sale on Facebook. Not sure if they are the length you need. They are brand new. Bought them to install based on information directly from Fountain and they were not the right length. (ugh)

I actually have the new cables, I was wondering what the process was and complexity level of installing them. Whether or not I could hook thre old ones to the new ones and pull them through the holders kinda like pulling wire or how. I thank everyone for their responses, it's definately appreciated!!

I've been told you can do that - but as tight is the harness / cable bundle is, I'd be surprised. I wish you luck!

LOL, That was kind of my thoughts as well but since I've never done it before I thought I would ask around and see what I could find out. Well we'r will find out here in a bit when the weather gets a bit warmer. Again thanks to all
