Replacing K-plane indicator cable ?
 

I ordered the correct cable and it should be here on Wed. It is the longer cable (port side). It broke outside the boat at the tab.

Are there any tricks to installing this? What are the chances of being able to duct tape the ends together at the transom, and pulling the old one out from behind the dash...and having the new one rig itself into place???? :rolleyes:

Also, i thought i heard the conection to the indicator is spring loaded somehow ?

I have the exact same problem. My cable works, but isn't looking too good. Where/ how much was the cable? Mine is red and cracked at the transom. My Starboard engine is out right now so replacing it would be much easier in the next week or 2. Anybody know the answer to this????

Your cable will have a number on it. something like this.....
032377-003-288 where the "288" is the length in INCHES. I ordered mine from here. Was the cheapest place i found it ($36.00 for a 24ft cable).

for pull the new cable, you can use the tape method but sometimes it does not work. They make a coupling that connects the new and old cable to put it thru. Should be available at west marine

Just did mine a couple weeks ago I duct taped them together and used some petrolium jelly and lubricated the out side to make it eaiser to slide by the rest of the cables in the tube.

Worked just fine

Ditto, but I used good old grease. Russ, call Formula, they should be able to tell you the exact length.

When your into the indicator end up by the dash...do yourself a favor and lay a big towell under everything. They are spring loaded & can be a pain in the azz. You may want to order an extra couple of pointers & springs. Just in case.
