"Hi, I have a 1976 OMC 800 series outdrive. I have been trying to remove the stern drive and the upper gear housing from the boat. Everything is going fine but I cannot seem to remove the shift wire. The manual says to "Disconnect each of the shift wires by slipping back the sleeves and breaking the quick discount." I cannot find any discounts. I have tryed to pull the wire out a little from the boat from the outside of the boat and it won't budge. Any thoughts? Can I just cut this wire (is it just a electrical wire)?"
 
"Nevermind, found and discount

"Nevermind, found and discounted the wires and I got the wire out with some lubricant and sheer force."
