Changing an outboard control cable
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 кві 2016
- In this video I go through the procedure to change a forward control cable on an outboard motor. This could be either a gear selector cable or a throttle cable. The basic procedure is to disconnect the old cable from the outboard end and from inside the forward control unit, change the end pieces over and then re-install. In this example we use a Yamaha two stroke outboard with a 703 forward control unit.

your content embodies the whole point for which youtube was created. A regular dude being able to spread some concepts from a workshop with couple of empty beers here and there. No need for flashy sets when message's so useful and clear as yours. cheers from the Balearics
THanks mate!
Hi Stu, just wanted to say that your videos have helped me a lot, with my latest project! Watching your videos gave me the confidence to buy a project boat and I have just finished servicing the outboard, adjusting throttle cables and relubricating them, adjusting fuel mixture and idle speed and plugging a hole in the hull. Now I'm considering taking it further and repainting it. Thank you for putting these videos out into the world, you are a champion!!
Appreciate the easy explanation of changing the control cable, I like to see if I can fix a part on my own before sending it to a shop so thanks again for the info
Hi from the UK. My gear change cable broke today and as a new boater I was beginning to panic and expect the worse. However, having just watched this video I have now prepared to change the cable tomorrow and have the confidence to do it myself. An excellent series of videos, keep up the great work. Cheers
Thanks mate, good luck with the cable change. :)
Well I fixed my kill switch according to your instructions, now my throttle has crapped out so I have come straight to your channel - and of course you have the perfect video!
Happy to help. :)
I'm mounting a Johnson 70 to replace a blown Yamaha 90 on an old Super Sport 16'. I had the controls for the 70 off my old bass boat and need longer cables for newer boat. I was preparing my wife for the expensive repair shop job. Even though I thought I'd seen most of your videos, this one just popped up while watching the news this am coffee break. Wow what luck. I can do this myself and you sir are a lifesaver for us out here. Thank you so much from Pensacola, Florida. Also I like your upgraded Camera. Excellent video and it really focuses in like I'm sitting right there next to what you are showing. Lighting is much improve also. Thanks again!!
Very thorough. I'm going out to give this a try now. My cables are in and the boat is waiting. I feel like I can do this now. Thanks so much.
Thanks for making this video. You do a great job of sshowing each step while explaining. Also love that you mention all the considerations at the end for cable lengths etc.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed. :)
You are the absolute best!
Whenever I feel hopeless on a tricky detail... I go to you! And there it is... the solution!
Love to drink a beer with you one day!
Thanks Richard, glad the video helped!
I've watched several of your video and just wanted to thank you for making them!!! The way you explain stuff is soooo good and easy to understand. I hope you continue making videos!!!
Thanks mate, glad you've been enjoying the videos. Safe boating! :)
Very informative and straight forward. I like your clear instructions explanations. Just bought a 9.9 Yamaha and now I see it’s something I can handle. One of many fantastic videos. Cheers from Vancouver Canada. Keep on keeping on!
This is such a good channel. Every time I go looking for an answer about my boat projects...I end up finding Dangar.....thanks!
Glad to help. 😊
Greetings from Vancouver Island B.C. Canada. Thanks for all the help!

One of the biggest funding limitations for DIY UA-cam channels is that (by definition) your average DIYer is usually a little tight on cash. HashTag MeToo on that bro but since this is about the 150th time Danger Stu has saved me $100's I'm going to head over to the links above and make a very very small donation. Obviously hurts just thinking about it but bugger it - I'll always spend a penny if it saves a pound.
This is probably the most detailed and informative instruction video I've ever seen.
Thank you for all of your tutorials, I have learned a lot. I also like your demeanor and your straight
Forward explanations in all your projects. Again thank you.
Mate, I don't know what I would have done without this video. About 8months ago I had to pull apart my throttle system to get at my choke cable which had perished beyond repair. I used your video to disassemble the cable. I got myself a new cable but haven't had an opportunity to fit it until today. There were several things that I couldn't remember like which way up the plastic connectors at the front end went. I found your video again and it was sorted within seconds. I reckon you should re do it, or at least repost this one, its saved me probably $2-300. I'm still going to get it checked by a marine mechanic, but the satisfaction of doing the repair myself was pretty cool. Cheers
I viewed and used your technique for freeing a steering cable that was stiff. That worked well and it appears that this video will do the trick too. Thanks for your assistance with my older but well loved outboard.
You're welcome Brian. :)
Sharing the knowledge you are is going to save me a lot of money in the long run.
+Tim Byrd That's what we're shooting for! Well, that and having fun. :)
Thank you very much and greetings from the Des Moines Marina in Washington State, near Seattle. I'm now thinking I can change this myself on my Catalina 27 and save having to pay an expensive marine repair shop do the work, thanks to your very clear and well-articulated video!
Thanks for posting this video. My gear cable broke today so I need to replace it. Your video gives me the confidence to do it myself. Thanks again!
You're welcome mate, good luck!
Brilliant! very well done video, I think I can do this job now, Cheers from Hornby Island BC Canada.
Thanks so much. My son and I have just watched and are now confident we can do it ourselves. Really appreciate the detail and care taken.
from Vanuatu!
Glad to help. Good luck with the job. :)
@@DangarMarine Cheers - repair went well. All the best.
I wish you could have mentioned there are several different types and not all are interchangeable especially older models , after watching your video I thought I could just use my old cables but as I have learnt, there are several different types of cables , some have the removable tips like yours , others have specific adjustable wheels and lock barrels, with removable end but fine thin cable ends with grub screw locks , others have the correct end for the outbound but different end for the control with windows ends that are not removable with small holes , others have the same set up but with large holes , there’s a multitude of different styles , tips, sizes , definitely not a one size fits all as you clip suggests.
I’ve learnt the hard way with about 12 different cables of which none are exactly right absolute pain in the ass ! Hopefully I can save someone else the hassle and make it known that you need to find you specific cable you can’t just use a generic one at least with older outboards
Thank you dude. As always this was very helpful. Watching your videos has gave me the confidence to work on my own boat and outboard motor. Much appreciated! Johnny D. Sacramento, California
Glad I could help!
Once again great video. You've helped me limp through yet another diy boat project. Keep it up!
Thanks mate, glad the video helped you. :)
I LIKE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING IN DETAIL ... AND THE TIPS ALSO
Very clear instructions. I feel I can do this myself now. I'm going to give it a whirl! Thank you!
Perfect, thanks. I see why I subscribed to your channel last week.👍👍👍
Dude you are the man! I've watched HOURS of your content already (just bought my first boat) Really appreciate it. Subbed
Welcome aboard!
Thanks again for taking the time to do these videos. I’ve learnt so much and saved $ !
You're welcome Nick.
Big thanks for this video. I'm having to change one of my control cables this weekend.
You're welcome, good luck with the change over.
Awesome... I just had my one line go that controls reverse neutral and forward on a 1988 Thunder Craft.... thank you so much for this hopefully the cable won't cost a fortune. Much thx from Canada!
You're welcome, good luck with the swap over. :)
Thanks that was very helpful. Look forward to tackling this project.
Greetings from South Florida. I have seen a lot of your videos and they are some of the best ones out there. I've learned a lot from them and we certainly appreciate the valuable information. Thank you!
Thanks mate, you’re most welcome. :)
I use this guy for everything I do on my outboard. Excellent vdo's and excellent advice, genius love it.
Can't find how to drop you a $ I think you should make this easier to do. You save lots of people lots of money... you could do with and deserve some of that.
Cheers Frank
Thanks mate. Glad the videos have been helping you and any support is greatly appreciated! There is PayPal link on the channel page. :)

Did an awesome job of explaining this job . Great job, and thanks for the teaching.
Thank you! You have helped me out before and you just helped me out again. :)
Thank you for explaining in great detail, I am an industrial maintenance technician but small things can sometimes be a pain in the a$$.
Exactly what I needed to know. Now to get the cables out and order some new ones.
Good luck Matt!
Very well explained, thanks from LA

Nice work
Awesome, Thanks a million Stu!

Great vid Stu !!
+Jan jan Thank you! :)
Great video, thanks!
Nice video, man !! Extremely useful ! :D Thank you so much !!
You're welcome David, glad it helped you. :)
After countless youtube videos, I found this one. And I now know, both cables are basically Identical and found a set, 2 for 71.00 bucks. Once home and off the lake the parts will be there and I can do this repair myself. heads up, the boat dealer wanted 138.00 an hour and quoted a min of 2.5 hours. And the parts where 112.00 per cable. The most important thing is save your old connectors. to make sure you have a good fit. Unless their bad.
no entendí una palabra, pero si entendí todo el proceso del cambio, excelente vídeo, me ha ayudado. chevere!!
Me alegro de que el video te ayude. :)
Thank you for your Nice vidéos !!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. :)
New camera works a treat!! Good work stu!!!
+Paul Skinner Thanks Paul. Still got a bit to learn about it, but so far so good. :)
You have a nice boat.
First off, awesome explanation and video! I am trying to relate this video to how my shifting cable/linkage is configured on my Yamaha outboard. The linkage is not mounted on the side of the outboard like shown in this video, it has a brass linking nut that connects the shifting rod from the power head area to shifting rod in the gear box (this connection needs to be unthreaded each time I take off my lower unit). When moving the shifting lever from neutral to forward/reverse the linkage movement “agrees” with the 3 positions. However when I do my in water test as you mentioned, my reverse sort of grinds/stays in neutral and I have to push back a little harder on shifting lever to actually engage reverse. I was nervous that my dog clutch was worn out, however when I detach the lower unit and move the shifting rod manually the prop spins freely in both directions when in neutral, I hear it ratchet into place and locks when in forward and reverse. So it seems like my lower unit/dog clutch are ok? Could it be that I am not getting enough “throw” with my shifting cable to get it fully engaged in reverse? Do you know if this sort of set up has an adjustment that can me made under the cowling (where the shifting cam/lobes are located)?
Thanks mate, saved me a bunch of $$$!
Perfekt exactly what I needed? :-)
Another excellent video as usual my friend.
+classicoutboards Thanks Will, glad you liked it. Hope the truck is going well! :)
Truck is going well. Check out my channel for all the videos I've made of it so far.
Hey mate, will check out your truck vids tonight.
+Dangar Marine Thanks.
Thank you.Very clear explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice 👌
Sir, you are a life saver!
Happy to help. :)
nice one all your vids are good but the new camera has made the sound much better keep up the great work and thanks for your informative vids
+Adam Threlfall Hi Adam, glad you like the vids. I didn't quite have the microphone setup properly this time so I think the next one might even be a bit clearer. Fingers crossed! :)
This video was a real life saver
Glad it helped.
Very handy, thanks!
You're welcome, Tim. :)
Very good video
Thanks mate.
And I will use that trick that you said about putting oil down there that's going to save me time and money especially since I'm not working now
got the answer on shift cable problem----there is a little plastic sleeve inside the cable that helps ensure it shifts smoothly----it was broken. So--replaced it and we are back in business in our
42 Hydra Sports--3 350's.
Nice work! Enjoy getting out on the water. :)
Great info, well delivered. Keep up the good work.
I have a Honda 50 it seems much the same as the Yamaha I'm wondering have you done a video on complete change on control with electric wiring and other cables. Great video TKS for sharing
thank you. real mechanics are becoming scarce
Thanks Kevin, DIY often is the better way to go.
You the man! Just replaced my cables.
Nice work, glad you got the job done. :)
@@DangarMarine It happened cause I duck hunt...was 19 degrees other day and couldnt move shifter....cleaned all old grease out of shifter box and used white lithium...new cables cleaned shifter linkage on motor ...more white lithium....time go break some ice....shoot some ducks.
Another great video as always. Question do you have a video about adjusting the throttle cable. I have one on my control box but I find that I have to take it way forward to increase throttle
Bit of marine grease on the cable ends where the fittings screw on and on the control box screws and on the rubber spacer that holds the control cables apart in the control box, just helps to take it apart next time it needs to be done
Thanks fella!
+Danny Carnegie You're welcome Danny. :)
Yes another great video! Just Incase my cables are beyond oiling/ lubricating.Also a thumbs up for the Land Rover shirt! Have you a FB Page??
Yeah, if they don't come good they aren't too hard to replace. We have a 1958 Land Rover in the workshop that we are restoring at the moment. I'll make sure I get it in the next video. The UA-cam about page links to our business Facebook page, S&A Motors, but it isn't too exciting. Working on a new website at the moment
Thanks for another great video that helps to "demystify" boat maintenance.
+David Holmes You're welcome David. This is definitely another one of those jobs that is within the reach of the DIYer. :)
thank you
Thank you.
Hey Stu! Hope all is well with you and yours mate. Was just wandering what the correct grease is to use on these cables.
I was told not to use oil, as they said that it assists in the cracking of the external plastic casings.
thanks for your vids & all the help you give every one mate.
Lucas transmission conditioner keeps the cables crack free for years it works well
verey helpfull thank you
You're welcome James.
first off thank you so much for your help and was wondering if you could help some more haha i have an 1978 evinrude and it needed a new control box, i hooked the wires color to color, besides ground being black with white stripe on new box, up to each other but when i turn key no power is getting to box to turn engine?? any idea?
You are FANTASTIC! I have a couple of issues that would be too difficult to explain over text. Is there anyway I could call you? I know that’s a long shot but no shops near me understand my Yamaha problems haha. Even if I don’t hear from you I’ll be a fan. Your videos are fantastic.
Red cable wit threded end is one side i need on motor part were hook up but i need other end go on outdrive with little lead ball at end of wire
Any words of wisdom on rigging a mercury 90hp gen 1 throttle & gear control cables. Just replaced with new sea star teleflex cables and having a time rigging. Dont know where to start. Motor is 2003 model 2 cycle
Thanks
You're welcome. :)
...i need to take my cables out as they run under seat ...making seat wobble
