Tach Cable

[Liquid Asset]

Well, I just returned from Ft. Lauderdale. The boat is in the marina, but it was not without issues. about 175 miles into the trip on Friday, the tach cable broke that feeds the glendenning sychro from the slave engine. It will not stay plugged in the glendennning. I think the end of the cable is worn and keeps slipping out. It looks like the key holder for the end of the cable is toast.

Basically I need a new cable, and I dont know much about them. My mechanic was with us, and he said it looks just like the mechanical tach cables the navy used, but he was not sure where to get one. Do yall know if this is a glendenning part? or is this somehting Detroit should have?

I need to get one in a hurry since we are leaving for the Bahamas next saturday. Do you all know where or who to purchase one from. Thanks.

Its a standard cable - nothing special about it and should be available from any of the Detroit places down there.

Pull the old one and make sure the length matches.

I order them from Glendinning. They are reasonable and ship fast. Most importantly, they need to be oriented one way as they are wound cables. Glendinning marks them for the sync end. It will be a X cable, all they need is the length. 843 399 6146.
