Thanks dds-
I trust you have a stash of fuel in case those boyz don't get through the ice soon...remember Jack Daniels will freeze at about 27 below so keep it in a cooler for insulation.
I'll have to pull the old cable out of the sheath, measure and make a replacement, then hope I can re-insert in the sheath (because the sheath makes a penetration into motor compartment and then out to the drive train enclosure that runs back to the OC-4...remember this is a 1301 amphibious machine and everything is sealed / water tight)...
I'll try Morse cable once I get the old one out.
cheers
