    3.2.1 Hardware The 2018 control head can be used with either 30 series or 40 series control cable. Kobelt Manufacturing does not recommend solid core cables. A solid core cable would consist of a single wire that is too stiff. Multi-stranded cores are more flexible and therefore generates less friction during operation.

    3.2.3 Control Head Connection The 2018 control head has a cam mechanism for actuating the clutch or throttle that permits the cable to be installed in either push or pull configuration. The clutch valve mechanism on most marine transmission requires approximately 2¾” (70 mm) to 3” (76 mm) of travel.

    2018 Control Head Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. Figure 2: Lubrication instructions NSPECTION When a cable core is pushed, it will take the longest route and, conversely, when pulled, it will take the shortest route. This appears as ‘lost motion’ at the actuation end. The cable stroke must be measured periodically to confirm adequate stroke.
