Indicator cables
 
I'm looking to replace my morse red jacket indicator cables on my drives and trim tabs.Does any one know of where to get a good deal on these?I've been looking on some sites and it looks like morse was bought out by teleflex,is this true?Do they still offer the red jacket supreme?

Got to love these projects.

Thanks Nordic95

Red Jackets aren't as good as TFXtremes, but they are kind of overkill for indicators-great for throttles and shifts.

I spoke to Fred (TRICK) a couple days ago and he was going to get those exact cables for me.....Check to see if he has ordered mine, maybe he can get yours in the same order????

I did order and received the teleflex standard cables,I thought they were the red jackets,but they are not.Would these be adequate for indicator cables?They are thinner then the red jackets and I'm worried they will flex and not seal in my thru transom fittings.

Re: Indicator cables
 
the thru hull compression fittings are designed for 33c cables so its hard to say if they will seal. teleflex does make a comparable cable but I dont remember the #

Re: Indicator cables
 
These are 33c teleflex cables,just not red jacket supreme like the ones that came out of the boat.I would feel better if I had the red jacket,but these are not returnable.Maybe I should bite the bullet and throw these in the garage and order the right ones.

Re: Indicator cables
 
For indicators the standard cables should be fine, there is very little strain on them as opposed to throttles or shifts. If they don't seal tight, add a little silicone at the thru hulls. The cables on my boat are standards, not the Red Jackets.

If they are the teleflex 33c then they should work. id mesure the shielding of the cable they maybe the same size black will look thinner then red...(just ask my wife black makes her look thinner)

Re: Indicator cables
 
O.k I think the cables I have will work if they worked on your boat.I do agree,now that I'm thinking about it that there is no real strain on them at all.I will save my money and buy a new black wardrobe for my wife,maybe two if it really make her look skinnier. :D :D :D
