throttle and throttle cable

[Guest]

Hi Guys

can anybody help us out were looking for a new throttle for Curlew as the old one packed in on the weekend. (Full story later)

second question we are looking for throttle cable say 30ft should be more than enough incase of obstructions we got quoted £250 we are looking to cut out the middle man and see if we can get these much cheaper online.

Thank for reading this Jonny

A wee bit more info if you can Jonny, is the control head a Morse or another make?

[Guest]

David its a bit like his real made for outboards and i don't know why he previous owner put one on

but as we need to change the cable aswell due to being damaged

David this is a pic took of the throttle when dad was tinkering with it

That looks like a 70's morse single lever throttle / gearchange head Jonny, our friends at Hindle controls hare having a bit of a clear out of longer morse cable at stupid prices (£20 - £30 for a 7 oe 8 metre for instance) there are also some good morse control heads on ebay at sensible money.

Hi all

thanks to Graeme (DonnyVron) from NBF he has given me his old Morse single throttle control off his Elysian aft cab for just the price of postage

so does anybody know what throttle cable we would need to run from the throttle to a 1500 BMC Ive seen loads on ebay but dont know where to start.?

Jonny, measure the length You need from the control head to the other end taking in a nice gentle radius wher it bends, not too tight a bend. Then take the number off the head and ring Hindle, they will fix you up with the right stuff.

do you know of any places we might be able to pick up some cable the same day as we phone as would like to pick it up same day

Not if you want a good deal Jonny, most people other than specialist control places will not stock the full range anyway, Hindle are in Bradford so just an hour away.

Maths lesson for you Jonny, first metre £11.99, further 9 metres to take you up to 10 metres @ £0.40 per .25 metre, so £1.60 per metre or £14.40 per 9 metres, so 11.99 + 14.40 = £26.39 + postage, for your 30 foot requirement 9.25 metres would be the appropriate length by the way so a few pence less than that.
