Default 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..

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.
