So as those of you who have read my ramblings know I am in the endgame of replacing my Palmer P60 with a Yanmar 1GM10.
I was able to reuse the throttle cable from the Palmer and the Choke Cable became the stop cable with a little home made clamp arrangement, but I need a shifter cable. The old teleflex 5/16th cable from the Palmer is frozen and the end at the shifter broke off when I tried to move it.
I tried talking to the teleflex folks about the right cable choice and they said talk to the transmission maker! Well first they said talk to the person who installed the replacement engine. I told the guy I have been talking to myself for almost 60 years!
If one of you that has a 1GM10 knows what your shifter cable is I would greatly appreciate it. I think the shifter cable is my last real hurdle.
I do promise a nice write up with photos of my repowering when it is done and Silver Maiden has had sea trials, which will be before the end of March since my marina is being turned into an amazon warehouse!
