Shift cable failure

I couldn't shift the boat last fall and it got worse and worse
I thought it was the atomic 4 transmission but no its fine
Then discovered the cable was jammed. This is not easy to replace
Pulled out the old
The ericson with the Edison Pedestal and Atomic 4 engine uses 6400cc series cable
5/16 -24 threads
a 12 ft cable costs over 170.00 plus shipping

This is a Teleflex cable ,Teleflex bought out just about every cable manufacturer so a one stop scource.


Under the lump in the cable this is what i found

The cable is quite heavy and expensive because of the diameter there is no cheaper way
