The bay area has no boating community? No marinas?? Go figure. There were
certainly no shortage of them when I lived there.

Oh! Wait! There ARE chandlers in the bay area still!

Motorcycle cables pull. Boat cables push and pull. Automatic transmission
cables push and pull. Though maybe not on a Vanagon.  I've not dug that deep
into it.

Have fun.

Jim
