Shift/Throttle Cable End Removal

[CaptainHook]

Hey all, quick question here, I am in the process of swapping motors from 2 different boats. One is a Mercury and the other is a Johsnon so controls have to switch as well. I can't get the control cable to pull al the way through the floor on the one boat.

I am wondering if anyone knows how to remove the cable ends from the engine side of the cables so I can take tke adjusters off as they are what is hanging up.

PLEASE HELP!!! This is so very frustrating!!!

Merc ends, OMC ends, type of control, model number of the engine, need more info.

OMC ends on the engine side, not controls. It is a 1990 90 hp johnson V4. I am pretty sure these ends are the same from late 70's up. All I can see that seems to hold the end on the cable is a small stainless piece that goes through the plastic adapter.

Look inside the ends of the stainles piece, isn't there a tiny allen screw in each side, loosen both screws and the cable should come out.

No screws, it is a solid stainless piece.

Look at #61, is that the type of cable end you have?

No, that is not it. That diagram is for a pre 1979 type cable. Mine is a 1990.
