On my first trip south, the cable for my gear shift failed in Titusville, FL--I
was able to find a replacement cable in Titusville but it cost me 2 days in a
marina and lost time--that was 20 years ago. So, I think I'm due for a
replacement. Making a preventative replacement before I leave is
If your cables are the same diameter, they are both series 33 cables. If the
gearshift cable is roughly twice the size of the throttle cable, the shift is a
series 64 cable and the throttle is a series 33. As Andrew mentioned, you are

I am making last minute preparations to leave cruising this fall. I want to
carry spare Morris cables for both the gear shift and the throttle since I have
