I have a 2000 Larson 290 carbrio with twins - Volvo 5.0 GL PEFS with Duo Prop DP-SM out drives and model SX-M transom shield. I have to replace the starboard shift cable because it is binding. Is there any tips anyone can give me on doing this. Do you need to lube the outside of the cable to get it through the transom into the out drive? Should I attach a wire to the old cable when I pull it into the boat? The cable installed now goes into a black rubber hose that is about 2 feet long before it goes into the transom. I have not been able to find any directions on specifically how to change the cables and do not want to end up pulling the old one out and not be able to get the new one to the shift connection on the out drive. Any advice or tips on doing this would be greatly appreciated. Jerry
