Hey Rob, belive me that the Rex Marine Teleflex deal will fit with no problems, cutting the dash etc ... That's what was in your boat before I took it out. The only two systems installed have been the one in it now and the one I removed. Sorry man.
Use the same length cable as came with it... you can even go a little shorter

Hey Brian.... Thanks for the tip. I ended up measuring the damn thing about 25 times and doing everyone's convoluted math tricks to get the right size cable, and realized that no matter what math I was doing, it came out to be a 14 ft cable. So I have one on the way.
BTW, I'll send you some pics of the progress soon.
