Re: Replace shift cable - Volvo Duoprop
No, the drive does not have to come off. But you do need to take the back cover off the drive and disconnect the linkage, then there is a bolt on the side of the bellhousing that holds the cable in. Loosen the bolt and pull the plate back.<br />Then the cable will pull out of the hose inside the boat. Disconnect the cable from the shift/throttle control and install the new cable. On one end of the cable, you will find the length in either inches or feet. get the new cable first and use the old cable to pull the new one through the side of the hull.
