'97 Response LX broken throttle cable

[mike72]

I have a '97 Response LX with the Monsoon engine.  Late in the day on Sunday, I had the throttle cable break.  The cable core (wire) broke where it is crimped on to the solid leader on the throttle end of the cable.

 

Is this a common failure?  Is there any kind of repair that can be done, or do I need to replace the entire cable assembly?  Can anyone help with a part number for the cable assembly? 

I will also need to replace the cable end that attaches to the throttle linkage (the part that threads on the cable and is cotter pinned to the throttle.)  Anyone have a part number for that?

 

Thanks so much!

These are wear items and should be replaced.  Do the throttle and shift cables at the same time.  You can get everything you need from Bakes or skidim.

The cables should be stamped at both ends with part numbers.

The brass threaded ends may come with the new ones.  Otherwise, look for "brass shift cable ends."

second bakes as a source - both the cables and the ends.  they also have a chart which lists for each model & year the cable lengths required.  https://cdn.bakesonline.com/media/resourcelibrary/MalibuBoatsfitchart.pdf
