    She is on the trailer, and enjoying some serious cleaning and detailing. I also have to
    service the lower units, replace my indicator cables, and give everything a 'once over'.

    Looking forward to the thanksgiving event.

    Yep!

    Hopefully, this will add longevity to the cables.

    I took the end cover off, pulled the cable as far as it would come out, greased it and put it back in, several times.

    Next I filled the boots with grease and zip-tied them at the top and bottom. I used an grease gun injection needle to do the filling.

    Now all of the places water can get into the cables, are bathe in grease, and under the 'sealed' boot.
