Ok. I've read and read, still cannot find the correct answer.. If I have a .187 flex, what size brass tube should I use? I've read 9/32, 1/4 and 7/32. All conflicting advice. I was told 1/4 when building my rivercat. I feel there's too much play and the cable will whip at high rpm. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe I'm over thinking it. Maybe I just really want everything as right on my boats as it can be. I took the liberty of putting a flex cable in each tube and took pics of them side by side. The top is a 7/32 tube. Middle is 1/4 and bottom is 9/32.....im thinking I need to put the 7/32 in.....
