Many ways to skin a cat but I'm pretty sure you could do it anyway you wanted to do.... your good.
As to the other question, grease, heat, time, money, bushings, seals, scraping, digging, cussing, bleeding, stroking, yep Happy Times!
Colorful language is how I speak.... especially working on outboards but we don't know how young the Joey's are in here.
That being said, post a picture a little bit farther back, becauseI don't believe you've broken the exhaust at all. That is where the motor pivots to go right and left or...
Well problem solved and problem added. We've all been there. Can't wait to help or try to help with the new problem.
As to Racerone's crafty little question?

Pardon Monsieur! 🧐
Okay...
Couple of things, and this is for the future, wires going to the coils (not the plug wires) have a basic color and one stripe each. Blue and green. Blue is represented by the top cylinder (sky) and green is represented by the bottom cylinder (grass). That also works for the trim and...

Wow many times have I heard....."picked it up for cheap"? I'd be rich beyond my wildest dreams. People can pay you to take their boat and it may be to much. Tell us in a month.
Second thing, if you fixed your cable issue.....let's all hear it?
Couldn't quite find that in this...
"The 3 holes" Hmmm.....pretty sure I mentioned that. The 3 holes.
In fact if you go back to my last comment you will know an extremely easy way to test if the 3 holes are plugged. (Do they drain?)
Super easy. Why are you missing these easy clues?
idle has loud snorts. A LEAN SNEEZE IT WILL SNORT AND SHAKE THEN DIE. 1/4 TURNS COUNTERCLOCKWISE UNTIL IT STOPS. High idle is not at all smooth when i try to move. HIGH IDLE WILL FIX ITSELF IF PROBLEM 1 IS CORRECTED. it's very in and out of power(bogs is the term?). HAVE YOU TRIED ADJUSTING...
