Intimidator shift cable
« on: July 19, 2017, 12:03:17 PM »
Does anyone know the length or part number for the shift cables? I have a new console and need to get some new ones. Cheers

      My Timi is an 85, but I would be happy to take a look at mine and let ya know.   Do you need a length measurement, or would there be a part number on them that you require.

Typically the part number on them tells the length. If I remember it is the last 2 numbers is the length.
I think this has become an addiction.

Mine is an '83 so I doubt that there is any difference. Part number would be the best way to go. I measured them once but I would like to get the accurate length.
I got a Mercruiser Commander 4000 so I need the newer version of the cables.
Thanks guys!

I looked over all three cables, the one from the outdrive on the engine side is stamped IC181, and is approximately 74" long.  The two cables from the operator controls appear to be identical, one is marked Teleflex CC 17213 G84.  The other cable does not appear to have any numbers, at least I can't find them.  I have the cables tie wrapped up for storage, but I could unravel them and take length measurements.  Not certain who makes the controls so I took a picture.  Let me know if I can help further.

Thanks mate! You don't need to do anything else. I'll check with my Mercruiser dealer and see if the part number makes sense. Thank you!

I'm pretty sure this is a Morse controller. My cvx18 has the same one.

      I'm pretty certain shipping would cost a fair amount  from Germany to the UK, but for some odd reason my brain takes off on a tangent(squirrel moment), and I think to myself, well Bremerhaven to several UK ports would be about 300 NM give or take, would someone in their right mind attempt such a feat in a low freeboard 20' boat such as a Timi?   People do crazy stuff all the time, but a small boat out on the North Sea?

Ha - yes that would be nuts I checked you are about 550 miles away so if it ever happened I'd trailer it and have a weekend over there or something :-)

Out of curiosity - what are they like on fuel? I have a 90 i6 tower of power are they much worse than that because that like putting cash in the shredder as it is... whereas my 120 mercruiser diesel different story 25 gallon nearly 300 miles!
