Exactly , you and gosht, wanted to make me look like I don't know what I'm talking about. So next time please hold your mouth before telling me what I need to learn. This 1980's model sea Ray has been garage keeped , cleaner than most 2000 model's, boat came from WI.
There is no way of getting inner cable out aft. without cutting cable. I love talking about how things are fixed. And I try my best to explain what I know.
So Khos u use air chisel to tighten nut
I have special wrench . that I heated and bent and ground down that will fit on inside of boat on top of steering shaft. Even if I cut out transom holes tap and use plugs . using a air chisel is crap. Even though new nut comes with slots for that way. Doesn't work for me.

You dont want to bet me.
I forgotten more than will most likely ever learn....
The most important thing that you have forgotten, is how to be polite and how to play nicely!
Something that should have been learned during adolescence.
I fixed, removed many things others said could not be done.
Just sayin'
You are obviously just getting started.
Read and learn.
Offer advice when that advice is accuratE and most of all needed.
you can rest at night knowing I have read all the manuals up to 2002-2004.
Have them all.
That is good to know.
I'm hopeful that all of us will sleep better tonight!
I know that I will!

Let's all be respectful of one another, even if we strongly disagree.
There is absolutely no need to be childish, to brag, to boast, to be nasty, rude, obnoxious, ill tempered, disruptive, etc.
Let's also understand that this is NOT about post counts. Post Counts only indicate one's participation, and they mean ZERO otherwise. Content is of much more importance.
