Apprently the throttle cable broke back in 96(when this boat was last registered) and was completely removed (and lost). Its, as noted earlier, a 22' Kona with bbc 454, 4 barrel holley. The driver is on the left side. What throttle cable do it need to get? I dont even know where to start. :screwy:

The length of said cable is anybodies guess, just remember the length refers to the jacket, not overall and will be in feet in the part number, for an example, most of the time it will be a 33C cable, so the part number for say a 16' cable will look like "CC33216" this would be the premium SST Red Jacket cable.
Hope this helps.

How do i know how long it needs to be? What would be the easiest way to measure. Im thinking of strings a string and measuring from there. Maybe(probably) you guys have a better idea.

Numerous trains of thought on how this should be done, I was taught the right angle method.
Basically start at the throttle and measure straight back to where you think your bend would be, then measure again adding this to your total until you get to the cable holder tab. For every bend deduct 6", round "up" to the nearest foot...
Good luck my man. :thumbup:
