[Rhodes22-list] Miracle's Tohatsu remote

[Mary Lou Troy]

For what it's worth, when we did the original installation on 
Fretless, we were advised to get the more expensive "better" cables 
because of the sharp turns we were going to put them through. We did 
and they have now survived 6 or 7 (maybe 8?) years of raising and 
lowering the motor, removing the controls and stashing them under the 
seat, converting from the Honda to the Yamaha etc, etc. Well worth it.
