Default Outlaw drive indicators inop and other ???

I drove to BFE and back this weekend to purchase the 33 i've been asking about... Overall the boat is worth the money just a couple issues to correct before boat season begins..... Thought I would pick ya'lls brain on a couple of them


My indicators are inop on a 1999 33 outlaw. The end of one cable is missing at the drive and the other is stuck in #1 position. Can the inner cables be replaced or do I have to replace the whole cable assy?? If so where do you get the parts.

The drivers side bolster does not raise up... I'm thinking the switch is bad any one else have one go bad??

The rear bench seat needs redoing because of some wood rot and a couple of skinned spots on the bolsters. I think some buffing and a new name on the side and I'll be ready to roll.

Thanks for your input.

pull both cables out and replace them, there will be markings on them for lengh, I replace all mine march last year, drives and Ind. I think the two indicator cabbles were 20' starboard and 26' port 33C type cables

And also pull a jet line or fish tape in as you pull the old ones out

There is a trim indicator kit that can be bought. Sorry I don't remember the part#. I had the same issue with a '99 342. All my paperwork went to the new owner.

Same with the bolster. Mine was just the switch. Swap the switch from the other side to verify. I've heard it can get expensive if the motor needs work. I liked it in the down position so I never worried about it. The new owner wanted it to work though. He chased the switch down from McLeod (good luck with that). They're not very responsive.

My rear bench and motor lid was also redone by XT-INNOVATIONS. Awesome work.

Our boats must have been built by the same guy on the same day!

I found an awesome 342 with 500's and stand off boxes, the only problems was it had a windshield and not the fairing....

The rear bench was only a few hundred. The huge-ass motor lid on the 342.....different story. Wouldn't be an apples to apples comparison for you.
