Cables
I installed new trim tab indicator and drive indicator cables on my 27 today. I adjusted the trim tabs almost perfect with the sliding indicators on the dash, but the drive not so well. There is only about 4 to 5 inches of movement in the cables but the drive has a much greater motion than that. I set it so when the dive is all the way down the indicator reads all the way down. When u raise the drive up about half way up the cable is done but there sill is more movement to go up. You really wont drive it much higher than the point where the endicator quits working so i dont think it is a big deal. Does anyone have any insite on this? It this normal? The indicator on the drive is a cylinder that has a rod in it and a spring and it bottoms out on the nuckle of the hydrolic cylinder and that is what pushes the cable.

Cable replacement
While winterzing my 27' Fountain I found that I need a new drive indicator cable. I read your post about replacing yours. Can you remember the information about your replacement cable? Thanks Very Much. BB

Place to start
here is a link about changing cable and finding right length, and where to get. I actually did mine also, but I went with teleflex extreme cable.
