1978 mercruiser 470, with mc-1 outdrive (i think).
I bought a lower shift cable kit, and was trying to just replace the lower shift cable core, but couldn't get the new core to slide through the old sheath. Then decided to do it right and change the whole cable, but.....
The sheath for the cable i bought screws in to the front of the gimble housing, and my old cable looks like it screws in from the back where the bellows are. I haven't removed the old cable yet (but did pull out the core)
Did I buy the wrong cable?
How do I remove the old cable that screws in from the back?
