The inner liner is specially processed polymer that minimize friction for maximum efficiency. The inside diameter is precisely controlled to minimize lost motion and premature wear, problems that seem to plague most "splined" or "grooved" liners like the original OEM cables. The conduit is a "full complement" of reinforced wires that are placed in a long lay pattern to protect the liner and inner core. The close tolerances achieved between the cable core and conduit result in minimal deflections during cable operation, assuring precise controlling action to the operator.

The outer jacket is heavy duty, high density non-hydroscopic polymer jacket that is extruded onto the conduit for maximum cable strength and abrasion resistance.

The end fittings are 300 series stainless steel and nickel-plated brass and are used throughout to ensure maximum corrosion resistance.

The seals and boots are durable polymer seals and are used to prevent moisture and contaminants from entering the cable.

Many companies outsource their manufacturing to other countries in an effort to save money, but by doing this they lose control over the manufacturing process. Our control cables are manufactured right here in the USA. We’re committed to providing cables that are cost efficient yet made of the highest quality. The three year warranty is the best in the industry and one year greater than the warranty that was included with the original cables.

Typical use for 16 foot cable:
• Catalina 250 transmission
• Catalina 400 transmission
• Catalina 30 transmission when equipped with a diesel engine and pedestal mounted controls. See Warnings & Notes.
• Catalina 34 throttle: Although Catalina has no record of the cable length used on the C-34 MKI, customers report an 11' transmission cable works better than their original, longer cable installed by the factory. I suspect shorter cables can be used to advantage on boats built until the MKII was introduced in 1994. I suggest you measure your boat to verify that these findings apply to your boat.

See the Engine Control Cable Clamp pictured below under "May we also suggest" to secure the bottom end of the cable to the engine

• Length from tip to tip: 16’
• Diameter of thread: 10-32
• Travel: 3"
• Minimum bend Radius: 4"

1) It is wise to check the length of your original cable before ordering as we have encountered installations that were not consistent with the original dimensions as reported by Catalina Yachts.

2) If your Catalina 30 is equipped with a side mounted control and removable handles (see part OBS001) you must use a heavy duty cable, like our part #Z2541. Early side mounted controls were designed to match the requirements of an atomic 4 transmission. Evan though your diesel engine doesn't require the large cable, the side mounted control will only accept the larger cable for the transmission control.
