glad to have you on board, update your profile with your location so we know where you're at,

You've got a 17 year old 2 stroke boat expect to work on it a lot, cables are just one of those things that need to be changed eventually,

was it run in salt water ?

if the engines are running ok I would probably also take a close inspection of,

Oil lines if it hasn't been switched to premix
impeller bearings
scupper valve
bilge pump
impellers

and you posted this in the "members tips / ideas " section, it probably would get more views in your boats section or even general discussion area.
