Thru Hull Cable Seal

[Taylorman]

I just replaced my shift cable. It is a little smaller in diameter than the one i had. Now my cable seal will not seal around the cable cause its to small. What to do.

Just buy a seal with a smaller rubber grommet. Go to McMaster (www.mcmaster.com) and do a search for "cord grip". You should be able to find one that fits your needs.

Sounds easy but the one i have required holes drilled in my hull. See the picture of the one i have.

Nah, mine doesn't have a ride plate. If I'm not mistaken, the intake has to be machined in some fashion for the ride plate to bolt up to it. I'd certainly like to look into it further, though.
As of yet, its pretty stable at a blistering 50 mph.....LMAO

I used silicone on mine. The rubber grommet that surrounds the cable looked pretty wore out, so I ran a little bead of it around the cable. Been ok ever since....
Or you could just leave it on the trailer like Oldbuck does. No worries there. LMAO

[Taylorman]

Just spoke to American Turbine. They said my rubber was worn out and i should replace it. I've never worn out a rubber before. They are shipping my another on no charge. Awesome service. Thanks for the help guys.

Shrink tube! :idea:
Comes in colors. Use a couple layers. Trim off excess when finished.
I don't mean over the top. Just enough to increase the size of the new cable to match the old.
ps.
Now that I think: it might work to put the shrink tube inside the nut and over the rubber/packing. Shrink it and run the nut up.
