The biggest issue is that the cable is probably permanently attached to the connection block at the masthead; so you’d need to splice new cable to a pigtail of the existing cable near that block.
Belden 9534 would be an almost perfect replacement for the existing cable, except that the color code for the Belden is red/green/black/white, and your existing cable is red/green/brown white: http://www.belden.com/techdatas/metric/9534.pdf It runs about $0.60 per foot (https://www.prowireandcable.com/ib/belden-9534/9534?gclid=COeE0Z-M8cwCFQmqaQod3YoDPw). — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( > On May 23, 2016, at 2:14 PM, John Read via CnC-List <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Fred Was getting erratic readings.
