OK, I have my OMC 3800 with Intermediate drive (still attached) but unhooked and unbolted from everything and moved to the center of my deck. Want to lift it up and take it all out of the boat but I'm having a problem figuring out how to detach the steering mechanism at the back of the engine. I don't plan on reusing this but I don't want to tear it up as I have a friend who wants it for his old OMC setup. Anyone have any ideas. My two service manuals don't say squat about how to remove this. I took 2 pictures and attached them. Hopefully they will show up.

remove outdrive
slide long skinny cotterpin and plastic sleeve off of rear drum assembly
steer the wheel until a slot screw comes around on the rear drum
remove that screw
slide the steering shaft out of the rear of the intermediate (that's why the drive had to come off)
keep track of wave washer and nylon washer
unbolt cable bracket from intermediate

Thanks - that was just too easy, took all of 3 minutes. Don't know why that wasn't in my manuals!
