Art,

I have the remote controls for my Tohatsu 9.8 on the
binnacle...the cables do make the turns & bends
(dealer enclosed them in a conduit to prtoect them) &
they go thru the transom.

I have the elect. motor lift & the cables do not cause
any interference...

Would pictures be of any help to you?
