Hi Thanks to comments on replacing shifter cable. The catch is I'm not sure the binnacle is an Edson. The shifters are not mounted in the side of the binnacle and the cables do not run up and down inside the binnacle. Rather they run up through the binnacle support/protector stainless tubes. There are four supports on this boat, two fore and two aft of the binnacle. The cables run up the aft tubes, one on either side.
Does anyone have experience with this set up? Where is the clamp that is holding the cable?

You will need to remove the compass and the engine control cylinder but there’s no need to take apart the wheel shaft (if you have, go ahead and replace and lubricate the shaft bearings once you’re in there with Teflon grease, not petroleum grease). I’ve attached Edson’s instructions on replacing the cables and if anyone needs to be walked through the process, simply call Edson 508-995-9711 and Ken Martin will happily help you through the process. http://www.edsonmarine.com/support/PDFs/installation/EB396EngineControlInstr.PDF The process is not intuitive so it is best to read the directions first.

I can't imagine any other way. Despite only needing to do the throttle cable I chose to do both so as to avoid the need to disassemble in the near future.

It is a C&C 34 with a throttle on one side and the shifter on port. The secret is how to disconnect the shifter lever from the cable with out ripping everything apart on the binnacle. We don't know the secret. Does anyone? I suspect trying to take the pin out that goes through the u-joint on the end of the cable holding it to the lever with needle nose pliers will end badly. Trying to put it back together even worse. First attempt at removing the screws/bolts holding the top plate down around the compass on the binnacle did not bode well. Thanks for any help.
