I need to replace my engine stop cable, which is around 18ft long, any one know of somewhere I could buy one of that size? biggest I have found in searching is 13ft, havent seen any bigger! Theres a bit of slack so a foot or two either way would probably work, maybe 16-20ft?

Thanks!
 
I recently had a problem with mine. It was so stffl I could hardly pull it out and pushing it back in was worse. I purchased a new one but before fitting it I took out the old one and took it home. I discovered that it was only sticking about 6 inches from the end of the stop handle. so with a bit of heat on the fitting I managed to pull it off the cable. Cut a foot off the cable. and refitted the T handle fitting. The inner wire was then too long so I cut a foot off at the engine end. With the cable now lubricated all the way through it's now a dream to use. The stop handle actually goes back in itself. I never new it could be that smooth as it's always been stiff since I got the boat.
Anyone need a brand new unused 13ft stop cable?

Worth finding out the diameter of the new inner cable; I replaced mine only to find the new longer one had a thicker inner cable and wouldn't go through the relevant part on the injection pump.
