Trim/Tab help
 
I'm trying to order new trim/tab cables for my 96 38SC, anyone know the length of them? Would really like to have them ordered and at my front door before I get home! Thanks in advance!

Call the fountain factory direct. I did the same thing. They were able to reference the exact sizes and provide the cables as well. I went ahead and did both of my drive and tab cables at the same time. Once one starts to give trouble the rest are usually on the way out. I believe the cables were $50-$60 each.

Yup... as long as you're pulling cables for the trim tabs, should definitely do the drive indicator cables too..

Yeah was def gonna do both the trim and tabs all at the same time, along with the throttle and shifter cables while I'm doing it. Would yall have a contact number for them?

Awesome! Even though Reggie is gone, it's nice to know the factory still exists and has records, parts and archives of all our boats.

Exactly! Was super helpful since I'm not anywhere close to my boat at the moment! I didn't think to ask but do they still carry the rocker switches and such?

The switches should be no problem. I had them get me a toggle switch an breaker for my blower switch, Mercury caps for my hydraulic reservoirs and some other odds and ends. Whe I bought my boat one of the half doors to enter the cabin wa broken on the top. They custom made the door for me and shipped it within a month for $200. I was pretty excited. I was able to get my boat near perfect in a few phone calls and $500.
