Default Sourcing Shifter Cable

One of our shifter cables broke on 94 top gun. I did some research and found I need a 22' Long replacement. I need some help sourcing one. Found some that look similar but not identical. This is what both ends look like..

I'm no expert, but looks like standard 33c cables to me. Look about a foot from the ends and there should be a number. Some cables are in feet and some are in inches. Last numbers are usually the length. Copy or take a pic of the entire number and google it. Many sources online. Best price I found last year was BoatstoreUSA.com.

The length of your cables should be marked on the ends and in inches. I used these cables.

the length and style is all marked on the cables. Some older cables have been replaced with newer numbers and versions. Any marine dealer can usual get them next day and see what exactly is needed very easily.
