Yeah, near as I can tell my cable is around 16 feet, but it has a funny double bend up front that doesn't look like it's really needed. I was thinking maybe they bought too long a cable and had to use up the excess length?
They were in pretty rough shape. Most of the set screws were stripped and many of the bolts into the boat had already lost their nuts and just had to be pulled out. It still has the holes actually. I'm too far behind the 8 ball this season to worry about them so I'll just squirt a little...
