OMC throttle/gear cable mounting brackets?

[shoestringmariner]

Is there different size connector brackets for OMC? I cannot find any info on these and the ones I have are extremely tight as if the U slots are too small for my control cables. Its chewing up the plastic adjusting wheels and there’s no adjustment without removing it first.

Here’s what I have, though the U slots on these appear larger in this photo. I’m not sure what cable type I have, but it looks like the type these are supposed to work with. I think I have the wrong clips

Thanks in advance

Yes there are two different sizes as I remember. The later ones are marked P port & S starboard. Not sure about the early ones?

Two sizes, according to which cables you have. The older cables with a brass trunion use the small "U". Newer cables with plastic adjusting nut require the large "U".

Yup – Like Frank said, two sizes. Once I got away with bending a small one bigger to fit the brass parts -I got it to work,but it was a bear getting the brass piece into it. The aftermarket Teleflex cables sold today have the plastic part and fit easily into the small brackets. I find the plastic ones work with the small and the large parts, adding a negligible amount of slop with the plastic in the large part.

Keep in mind that those clamps are designed not to let the trunnion turn easily…The ribs on the plastic trunnion keep it from moving freely so the cable adjustment does not change. You usually have to remove the cable from the clamp before making an adjustment…

You guys are the best, thanks so much, and also to your generous offer Crosbyman. I am considering it, especially after all of the help I have received on this site. So many hobbies take up my time and play money, not to mention my kids are still in university and college, but joining is on my bucket list
