Hello All,
I am finishing a bellows / gimbal bearing job on my 97 Sea Ray 175 with a Mercruiser 4.3. I am replacing the lower shift cable, and have come to a stand still. I fed the cable through the new bellow, and it seems to be hitting the back of the motor. This boat has power steering. I cant seem to fish the cable through from wherever it is hitting the back of the motor. I ran some weedeater line through the cable, and was able to find it in the bilge, but still can seem to get the shift cable to a point where I can properly route it up to where it belongs. Any tips on how to get this cable where it belongs?
Thanks in advance for you help.
