Emergency shut down 871 cable size

[Shaunc]

Happy New Year

Does anyone know or have the size of these cables, My look orogional and the markings are worn badly and cant read them.

I need to change both out in my 1975 53MY

I won’t be at the boat for two weeks so I can’t help. I’d call Steve at Sam’s. He can give you the exact size you need. Good luck.

I replaced them on my 12V71 last year. The cable I used was the Teleflex Black Jacket 3300 control cable. I got them from Jamestown distributors. The existing ones were red but these were a perfect fit just black in color. The length is going to vary based on your boat but the cable type should be the same. You could pull the old ones off and measure to get the length if you cant read them

I would not pull it out unless you have the new one attached to it. Call Sams in the morning for the length then order the ones mentioned above.

Good point. If you do have to pull it to measure tie a pull rope to it for the next one.

Thanks

I will call Sam's today and post what they say.

Sams said they dont know what size they are so I guess I am back to square 1.

I’ll be at my boat this weekend. I’ll see if I can see the numbers. I’ll send a picture if I have them.

Just to make sure you, did check under the helm and in the engine room? Probably did but just verifying.

I just looked at mine and cannot see any numbers anywhere on them, however I think they are a standard 3300/33C cable from Morse or other manufacturers.
