    Ultrex Pull cable broke

    My pull cable on my Ultrex (80 pound, 45 inch) broke today. Need to get a new one. Are there any good aftermarket ones?

    Thanks,

    Yes and pay close attention on the insall. Make sure you use the washer provided and put it on the mount end of the cable.

    Had a TH Marine on my Fortrex after breaking factory cords and was never happier!

    Mine broke a couple of months ago and I looked like Ike running from the front deck to the rear! Never fell, but I did some fancy footwork! I reused my cable, since the stop on the end of the cable is reusable also. Actually like it shorter as it won't get under my pedal now.

    I've broke two cables, fell on my butt both time. Now use para cord doubled up and no issues al all. Better than cable IMO.
