As long as the 3/16 flex cable has some wall play in it ( not tight ) you will be fine there is a .037 difference between 150 and 187 What is the ID/inside diameter of the brass ??

the brass should be "1/4" brass for Octura .150 Teflon tubing."
bought it from steven a few years ago. but ripped the proppshaft from the flex today

1/4" ID will be fine

1/4" is too big for .187 flex IMO, 7/32 is perfect with no teflon liner. What i have done is just put some epoxy on the outside of the 7/32 and stuff it inside the 1/4" its a perfect fit.

there is 1,58mm or 1/16 difference between the 7/32 and a 3/16. how much difference wil it make ? worst case im just stuck with using teflone.
