I need to do bellows on a 74 pre alpha 120HP.
I have the merc manual off here and I simply cannot comprehend how to take apart the shift cable. I have a practice transom I cut out of a 165HP that I will try first.
It is my goal to take it apart without breaking the cable as it is the old style that will need to be tapped for the new style. I don;t think I can handle it if it is that complicated. All other aspects of the bellows job is easy to understand.
Oh, where do I buy new drift pins for to hold the hinge pins in place. Someone used nails.
Better yet, can I replace the shift cable bellow without doing it all?
