67 OMC 120 Electric shift cable

[dansana]

I need to remove the shift cable. It seems to be stuck where it passes through the transom area. It there a seal or a lock that I am missing here? My book says just unhook the leads and pull it out the back with the outdrive.<br /><br />To remove the lower unit - Is it just the six bolts and the shift cable or is there more to it?

YOU WILL ALSO HAVE TO UNDO THE TRIM RAMS.<br /><br />IT DOES GET HUNG UP WHEN PULLING OUT, BECAUSE IT PULLS LONGER AT THE ENGINE PORTION.PULL HARD. NOT AS TOUGH TO GET NEW ONE IN.

If you can get a helper to sit in the boat and guide them through, it should help. I worry about just yanking harder as I would avoid breaking them. All you are trying to do is get them through the grommet.
