Getting ready to do a bellows job on a Mercruiser Alpha One - and from what I've learned so far it looks like the shift cable is sacrificed to do the bellows on the shift cable. Is that correct?

Thanks - Steve

instead of cutting the cable off, ya can feed it back out the shift cable bellows w/o sacrificing the cable. that said. if the cable ain't been done in a while. while doing the bellows is a perfect time to R&R the cable too.

I always replace cable when doing bellows job, as half the time you can't get 'em apart without damage.
