Removing outdrive.....no sweat. Removing shift cable from intermediate housing.....OMG>It was done by previous owner who damaged the outer cover ...then patched it with RTV and heat shink. I have remove the heat shrink and RTV only to discover that the KNOBS on the cover are hardened an will not pull out of the hole thru the intermediate housing.
Is there any possible way to replace transom boot without removing this cable from the intermediate housing hole?
For example: Can I remove the lower unit and the exhaust housing leaving the shift cable left in place?....Will this provide sufficient clearance around the upper unit to install a new transom seal boot( 20 hole).
