Does your setup look like this? http://www.moyermarine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7005
If so the part I think you are referring to I have not been able to locate. I have considered making a spare, a project that hasn't got to the top of the todo list yet.

Yesterday the cable clamp on the shifter cable broke (under a lift bridge, enroute to a race start...) and I have not been able to find any reference this particlar part anywhere. For the cable itself there are sources, but that does not help with this particular problem. The clamp has already been welded once, but to try that again would require it to be welded in situ, which is tricky at best, given the fact that it is thin stainless steel and immediately adjascent to the plastic parts of the cable. I have a lot of respect for the welding skill of whoever did the original repair. The part consists of stamped sheet metal, formed so that it fits into the annular detent on the shift cable and wraps around the cable. The ends of the sheet metal strap have right angle tabs that interleave to form an overall "D" shape, with a round head machine screw threaded through the flat surface into a flat stainless steel bar and into the annular detent on the cable. The bar extends up about 8 inches and is similarly fastened by a screw through the casting at the top. The whole thing: cable, strap, and clamp, is stuffed down inside the 1 inch stainless tubing when assembled. If anyone else has been down this road, I sure would like to hear how you handled it. A source for the part would be great. I have had no luck with online searches so far.
