Johnson control cables are way too long for the boat. How do you deal with this? Is there a correct way to shorten them? Engine-side or control-side?
I'm talking about 5 feet worth too long!

Thanks,
John

No good way to shorten them... your best bet is to try and trade for the correct length. in any case they are not too costly. BUT ... please consider that they need to be installed with generous curves, no tight bends, and enough slack to accomodate tilting and turning the motor without kinking.
