I just replaced my lower shift cable, and I found a way to thread it that might be easier than using string.
After you remove the outboard unit, disconnect the upper end of the cable on top of the engine. Be sure to remove the stainless threaded rod from the engine side of the casing, or...
When I replaced the seal on my lower shift rod, I neglected to remember how it was oriented before I pulled it out. Looking from the top down, I have it so it can turn between 10 oclock and 12 oclock. Is that correct?
