Hello,
Just trying to get all of the parts together before the boat comes out of storage, I purchased a sea star hot foot for my 462vs, but it needs a cable. I’m sure the one to the hand controls will be too short.
Anyone know what length throttle cable I should run?
Thanks for any help!
3' longer than your console cable..................RR

Jason - On my recently sold 462, I pulled the original throttle cable back into the battery compartment and secured it to the front wall; leaving it still hooked up to the shifter. You can always rehook the original cable to the engine if away somewhere and the Hot Foot becomes a problem. Buy a spare spring for your Hot Foot and keep it on the boat, you are screwed if the factory spring breaks and you have a tournament going on. Ranger service dept advised epoxying a piece of 3/4" plywood under the console to mount the Hot Foot on, and I peeled the carpet back and did that with some screws that went into the floor about 1/2" to hold the plywood down. Gave the ply 2 or 3 coats of latex paint before installing as extra waterproofing to the exterior grade plywood.

Thank you for the great advice!
