Shift/throttle cable source

Post by jen1722terry »

Hey CDers!

FYI: We finally got around to ordering spare engine control cables for our 31. I wanted to get the exact part, which was listed in the original CD 31 owners manual as a Northwest Controls 3300 BC, 8-foot length.

It turns out that the company was bought out by Glendinng Co. in 2002. I contacted them and they said the Pro-X 33C 8-foot cable would work just fine. At $26 each, I thought the price reasonable and cheaper than the Teleflex cables.

glendinning.com is their website.

Happy and safe spring sailing to all of you.
