I think I'm goin to break down and buy a place diverter(thanks for settin up that deal froggy!)Question is, another dumbass one, but how much cable do I need and what control(manuel)is the best? Boat is 19'.Addtionally where is the best place to mount the control, between the legs or on the side? I've seen both and just wondered what was better. When is the deadline for purchase? Thanks boys! http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif

typically you ask questions like that to the person selling you the parts. sellers generally provide tech service for the parts they sell. but then again, maybe when you sell really cheap, you can't afford to give service. hmmmm

Hey We arent exactly **Cough** cp Cough*** http://free.***boat.net/ubb/wink.gif
We give service to people whether we sell them a part or not! I have spent hours in research and time helping people that have never bought a thing from us. Its Just cause we are boat people too, and thats what we do.

When I ordered my cable, I was told that 15 and 16-footers are the most common ones ordered. I measured straight 10 feet from my transom to where I wanted to mount it. Add the looping outside and the sideways travel and it turned to to be 6 feet for mine. I ordered a Side Mount ($160) manual control and made a box out of 3/4" plywood. Carpeted the box and installed it to one of the bulkheads just in front of the driver's seat. Worked out pretty good. I now need to take it out to see my rooster tail.
