I removed the alpha 1 out drive. took the cable loos from the engine, unscrewed it from the out drive,I cand get it to pull through the transom. What is stopping it? Then engine is in the boat.<br />What do I need to do to replaced the cable. The boot was bad the boat leaked so I was told to replace the shift cable also. I didn't relise the trouble.

It must be catching on something in the motor compartment. I just cut mine and pulled it through.
