Mayf;
OEM cables usually have one major fault.... They melt in a
fire, and can stick the throttle wide open. Make sure yours
won't melt or it may not even get past tech. I am using a
Lokkar stainless wire in a braided sheath.

>Mayf, I have used it in a salt water boat enviorment--it
works fairly well---as to using it again, it would depend
where and how delicate---it is fairly messy --on fattery
terminals---I would use grease instead --- small junction
boxes no-- individual wires I personally plan on using shrink
wrap something that you don't forsee needing to go back to---ok
