Reply To: Simplex Cables too short

Dave, thanks for the link, I’ll check it out tonight.
I’ll give measuring for cable length a “go” tomorrow.
If in doubt, I’ll wait for your measurements.

Your Crestliner looks a little “spiffier” than mine.
Was “red” the only color they came in in 1957?
I know the Salmon / Pink on mine is not original,
and I see a little “blue” underneath in spots.
I haven’t dug deep enough to see if there’s any “red”
paint.

With MN boat regulations requiring the boat’s drain plug be already
removed when you arrive at a landing, and when you leave, I’m
dreading the thought of trying to get at the drain plug each time,
especially with the seat back in place.
I wonder if anyone has fabricated a drain plug with a reach rod
that extends up through the splash well?

Prepare to be boarded!
