ok could not rest until i could get this out from my own inspection there was no way to get it off with out pulling the out drive, but did not pull the bell housing, got the wire out easy but the sleave the wire gos into was another story took the nut out and the sleave twisted into so it looks like a new shift cable and i dont know how i did not miss how the bellow was rigged (all newer from past owner said and looked new) first they tryed a zip tie wraped in black tape and then a pice of wire twisted on it. so back to the parts list:facepalm:

Section 4-A in manual #6 is step by step. Life will be easier with OEM parts + power tune!

Good, that will make a handy kneeling pad while you are fighting the shift cable through the bellow :D (Clymer and Seloc don't get much respect around here... :rolleyes:)

Go to 4share and download manual #6 Pete suggested.

Oh yeah, buy the OEM Mercruiser/Quicksilver shift cable kit, it's worth the extra money.

Replaced many shift cables without pulling the drive... Just be careful not to put too tight a bend in the cable or you'll be replacing that too, and then the drive must come off...
