Livorsi advertise's there's at 3.25", and when I just ordered some from Hardin Marine for my drive indicators, the guy measured one on the phone and told me they have 3.40" of travel.

Yeah I think 3" is an estimate but I am looking for a cable with 5 or 6 inches of travel

Does your indicator have that much travel? If not that much travel won't do you any good! What kind of drive actuators are you using?

Custom building indicators and would like to show a bit more range than the stock setup. Don't worry about the travel at the drive either, I wil be modifying that also!
