I am working on my Sister's 1987 Bayliner Capri with a Force 50 outboard. Both of the control cables have been removed and I am trying to reinstall new ones. But it doesn't make any sense. Please refernce http://www.smalloutboards.com/f5080.htm for pictures of the same motor. So with the control cables there is a typical core inside of a sheath. My thought is that the core should actuate the throttle and gear shifter. In other word I would have expected the core to attach at both ends (motor and shifter). But on the motor the cable core is hard mounted and the SHEATH is attached to the the throttle and gear shift levers which performs the actuation. But then on the shifter (opposite end) the CORE is mounted to the linkages?!? What sense does that make? Unless I am missing something that is how it appears to be designed but how can that work?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
