Default stern jack or longer shift cable for a bravo drive

Does anyone know where I could get a shift cable for a stern jack setup on a bravo drive? They are about 9"s longer than a stock shift cable. What do you use on a bravo with extension boxes?

I've got standard lower cables with Stellings boxes and my engines are moved forward a foot. The standard lower cable is just barely long enough. My shifter linkage is mounted in the standard place on the headers.

If you have problems, you can always mount the shifter linkage on the transom.

The deal with the stern jack box is that it uses a 8-9" longer inner cable, The outer is the same length. I havent had any dealings with stand off boxes, So I didn't know what they used for a shift cable. It suprises me that you can use a stock cable with them. What do you have to do with your trim hoses,? Do you have to move the pump closer or longer hoses? I have someone that is talking about putting boxes on his 38 special, So I may be asking for alot of advice later this fall. Thanks

I modified a stock cable on mine. I think I cut 8" out of the casing and then slid both ends thru a 5/16 hose(6" length) and used small hose clamps to secure it so it wouldn't slip. I have an extra cable but you won't like the price!

I have a complete SJ for a bravo one for $1200 if you know anyone who needs one.
