We're asked by a new member about the attachments of the Morse (Teleflex) cables for throttle and shift on Yacht Specialties pedestals.
I recall the sequence as
1. Remove Compass.
2. Remove plastic collar fixed to aluminum pedestal with stainless machine screws. "PB Blaster" (penetrating lubricant) and patience may be necessary.
3. Pull cables up high enough to work on the end connections. Shoudl be slack in the cables for that.
4. Remove fittings. Photograph them as you go because reassembly a week later can cause hair loss.
The cables are easiest to measure when out, and correct length is important. WM or many online suppliers.
Obey the rules about cable radius beneath the cockpit. Gentle curves only, avoid sharp turns.
Further questions, just ask here.
