Hi,
My clutch and throttle cables are pretty stiff and sticky. I think they are original to the 1990 E38.
I've read through the following good thread:
http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?545-Improved-Control-Cable-Run
It sounds like Teleflex Xtreme cables are the way to go (part number CC633). It also sounds like on another E38, a 17-ft cable was used for the throttle and a 14-ft cable was used for the clutch.
My questions are:
(1) Should I physically remove my cables and measure them first before ordering new ones?
(2) Does it matter what type of engine (Yanmar), pedestal (Edson), and/or transmission (Hurth) that I have? Are the end connections all the same?
(3) What about the engine stop cable? Is that the same type of cable? Length?
Sorry, I;m just trying to gather some information before I start tearing things apart...
Thanks,
Mark
