Author	Topic:   control cable length
placerville	posted 11-17-2003 06:51 PM ET (US)         I just ordered Suzuki 70hp 4s for my Montauk. Is the 13' control cable length the right size? Thanks

If you connect straight to the outboard you will bind the cables causing them to fatigue, and over time split the outer casing.
