Shifter Cable

[Kaitlin Murphy]

Hi guys,
I have a Yamaha Jet Boat LX210 2004. The shifter cables are frozen and need to be replaced. Does anyone have experience with this? My mechanic is telling me it costs $1,000 because other parts are breaking. Wouldn't you be able to replace just those cables? I was checking the cost and saw parts for $200-300.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Yes, you need new cables and a new mechanic if you are not made of money.

Cables only to start, go from there.

If you can find the right cross reference to the teleflex part number, it can be even cheaper.

Not your boat, but here is some info from another member (Julian) doing the same thing on his boat:
