Check with any of the guys parting boats all the time for the drive actuator. Not sure whats avail for bennetsm but I went thru the same thing with lencos. Couldnt really find anything. I ended up measuring the ram and found a billet fuel pump mount that fit and mounted the cable to that. to mount the end of the cable I made a bracket mounted to the plate and attacked the cable end to it with a ball swivel.

For indicators I used Trim Sticks heads up setup. way cheaper than others and looks works great.

Ypu just need to measure the cable throw in a 33c , Its been a while but I think it was around 3.5" double check though, then do the math to get your throw right.

here is a pik

Phragle, I like that very simple concept. I now have a very good idea what to do with my Bennetts. Pic = 1000 words!!!!

I was looking at the same fab for the bennetts, fuel pump bracket good idea was looking for split ring mount.
Regarding the math on the indicator can you request different cable throw is there an adjustment? How did you compensate for the throw?
Also Hardin sells a kit for $85 a ram.

Here is a pic on EBay of one, looks homemade and like a throttle cable clamp for the cable sheathing and throttle swivel for cable end. This one is just not clean enough but good concept for fab.

Phragle I cannot see pic any way you can send to me?

its geometry... figure out the extended and collapsed length of the trim cylinder... Without going into a bunch of math and angles take the travel of the ram and see how close it is to the travel of the cable..it should be close... If the ram has more travel than the cable, rotate the mount on the ram towards the transom. If the cable has more travel rotate the mount away from the transom. If you fiddle with it for an hour or two you will find the sweet spot.

You can always graphthe whole thing out on paper and use numbers too.

A pic of yours would be great (cannot see the one you posted no access privilege) I got the jest of it now trying to visualize the darn thing. I was going to start a thread on on who built one.
Question, do all the indicators use 33C cable ends? I have a set of the '87 vintage cables that have like a clevis pin hole on the helm side. Can I get indicators for these?

just go with the 33c's the ends are readily avail however you want them, the cables themselves are reasonable and replaceable and the thru hull seals are readily avail.

Agreed, I had a set still in boat from throttle upgrade the right length and thought they may be repurposed. Oh well out with old and in with the new.

I scrounged ebay for new cables and got all 5 cables new for around 100 bucks

Still need actuators both Bennett and Bravo
Also need indicator 3 device.
Anybody?

For indicators I used TrimSticks and Im more than happy with them, plus the setup was half the price of anything from CP, Hardin etc....
