4-5 months rebuilding like new chapparal 198 XLC, engine..transom, ( and surrounding area) resto lower outdrive unit....totally restored interior as new 5 years ago... (I own a shop, do all the work here,)..need to replace bellows now..The shift cable is stumping me..researched and found video that 2 set screws at engine side at plastic sleeve end (it was later model, different type of screw heads), remove plastic "sleeve head",,then slide "inside cable out" from rear of boat.. LOL!! NAHH.. my tiny set screws has 2 tiny square heads on them b.t.w, not hex head like the video. ..inner cable will not slide out.very low houred boat no corrosion btw..Is my earlier model unable to do this? Has to be a way without desrtoying the cable? I would love to be able to remove the bell and do the work easier..shift cable (which works fine btw) is preventing me from moving forward.. any help sure would be appreciated..Just cannot not find same info on this model to do this..Surely I don't have to cut/destroy to remove??I'm about burned out on this boat, been a REAL learning experience!..my expertise is 69-72 Pontiac GTO"S!...thanx!
