A place across the street makes up Cablecraft premium SS cables while you wait, right in front of you, then stress tests them. Thats the way I'm going next time. O-ring sealed too.
There is only one rep per state, but maybe one is near you? ------------- "There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worthwhile as messing around with boats...simply messing." River Rat to Mole |

Another option is White Lake. They have the 17' cables for $40 each before our discount is applied.

I saw those Mark they are actually a little cheaper on the site I list also they are the 1/4-20 threaded ends and not he 10-32 we need. The cables that I listed are the new Extreme cables from teleflex they are suppose to be better than the red jacket cables for 20 bucks more. These are sold single and I need to order two cables right? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

Better plan on bringing more than a $100 worth, Green Lake is so big we burned a tank of gas each day we were on the water last year. Your gonna need a tanker and a valid credit card.  ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Nope, I left the boat in all weekend though so with the 4 of us boarding, skiing and cruising we were would come back on fumes each day. Its also hard to stay out of the throttle with all the hardware in the water and onlookers but what fun would that be anyway. We also paid for dock fuel cause it's a pain to move the motorhome twice a day to load/unload and run to the gas station. What the hell it's only money right. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

your's are a little different than mine from what I remember send me a picture to verify please. I don't have a picture of mine assmbled yet. Your's have one inlet on the front then a jumper hose for the snails at the rear. The main thing your going to need is to replace the snails/risers with elbow to get them under the motorbox. I would do a dry fit first to see if they clear the motor box. Also I believe your's all readyt has the fittings on the front for the hoses. Send me a picture and I'll give you a ring to talk about it because I have alot more stuff to hook up than you have too and one piece I got lucky and found over at Horner's in Tampa otherwise I wasn't going to be able to hook up the 1" coolant lines to feed them. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |
