Shift cable on outboard

[boxcar]

do I just measure length of cable 12ft from motor to shifter to replace.This a older 70hp Johnson.Is there a brand that is better than Johnson?

Measure from the control down the side of the boat to the back corner then to middle of stern then add 2 ft. That is your cable length.

Teleflex and morse are the 2 main replacement brands
