I really like the cable pushrods. You can get quite a bit of flexability in routing. Just keep the outer sheith supported at the point the cable exits. I use them on my 90 four strokes and even with the one on my 4*60 that I left to much cable exposed, I get very precise throttle control. On engine kill, it flexes just a bit when hitting the throttle stop.

If you need some bends in the setup after exiting the fire wall, just flow a very small amount of solder in the cable and then bend it to shape. The solder flows to the heat, so start your solder flow just a bit closer to the end that where you want it to stop and work your way to the end. Use a rosin core electrical solder, as fine a wire as you have. You should not see any flow of the solder, pooling of it. Heat it again and wipe down with a cotton rag to smooth out any dripps of flux and any excess solder. The finished solder job should fit into the shieth without binding. Any really sharp bends may loosen the solder bond and a bit is heat with flux will fix them up.
