That is a standard 43bc type cable by the number you gave. You should have no trouble acquiring one through any decent boat shop. If you can't find one, I'd contact Rex Marine (http://www.rexmar.com) .
One important note. Morse was bought by Teleflex. From information I was given at my local shop, the Teleflex replacement cables have a smaller outside diameter than the original Morse cables. This can present a problem where the cable passes through transom adapter. May not seal tightly enough to prevent leaks.

We carry the Hardin cables now in the 43BC due to the exact problem Oldsquirt speaks of. They've been working well. Here's a link (http://www.rexmar.com/page106.html)

Mike doesn't need the blasted thing anyway, he aint gonna put his beer down long enough to use a forward/reverse lever.

I dont know what kind of reverse gate you have, but i would tie the gate up! my freind (brazosjettin) broke his cable when he was running not wot but close enough, the reverse gate slamed down and all the way up( against the nozzle) and cracked it. just some food for thought. any way rexone, im going to order the cable mon. when they open .thanks for the info smile_sp
