Take Back Control of Your Boat.
There is nothing more nerve-wracking than approaching a dock and having to wrestle with a stiff throttle or a shifter that won't go into reverse. Your boat's control cables are its central nervous system, connecting your hands at the helm to the engine's power.
Over time, saltwater corrosion, internal friction, and tight bends cause these cables to bind. This isn't just annoying—it's dangerous. A delay in shifting or a stuck throttle can lead to costly dock collisions. We replace old, binding cables to restore the smooth, precise confidence you need at the helm.
The "Hidden Danger" in Your Gunwales
Most boat owners never think about their cables until they fail. Cables often run through hidden, wet areas below deck where corrosion does its worst work unseen.
- Internal Corrosion: Saltwater wicks inside the cable jacket, rusting the inner wire and fusing it to the liner.
- Jacket Failure: The outer plastic sheath cracks from UV exposure or chafing, allowing water intrusion.
- Sharp Bends: Incorrect original routing creates friction points that wear through the inner liner over time.
Our Premium Replacement Upgrade
We don't just swap like for like. We upgrade your system for superior performance.
- Low-Friction "Xtreme" Cables: We exclusively use premium cables (like Teleflex/SeaStar Xtreme) featuring a splined core and nylon liner for incredibly smooth operation, even with complex routing runs.
- Expert Routing: We trace the path of the old cable and often find ways to reroute it with wider, smoother bends to reduce friction and extend the life of the new cable.
- Precision Calibration: After installation, we meticulously adjust the cable ends at both the control head and the engine to ensure perfect neutral detents and full throttle travel.
