Cleaning up my Cables!

Post: # 16058Post Cherwool89 »

Hi everyone,

New owner of a 1989 V-King here. The boat is in great shape, however I would love to give the boat more of a 'clean, finished' look by running my fuel/throttle lines etc. through a flexible tube/housing. What sort of material do you guys usually use for this? I've seen a lot of nice applications on this site so if anyone could help this new guy out that would be great!

And while I'm at it..anyone have some pointers on how to straighten a bent windshield frame? I've heard a lot of people say don't bother as I might crack it...are there any safe ways of doing this?

Thanks.

Harris Lake, just north of Parry Sound, ON.

I was about to try that but was hesitant. I'll give it a shot this weekend. Any advice when it comes to tubing for my cables?
