Re: Cannot feed Shift Cable Through the Engine Bay
Since you already removed it ,No. Once your thru the housing you might be able to hook it with a coathanger, etc. But for next time:
Remove the inner core, get some weed-wacker string and pass it thru the casing and *** it off inside the boat. leave enough out the transom end to pass thru the new cable.Remove the old casing leaving the string as a guide.Slip the string thru the shift bellow and glue in place, slide string thru new casing and knot the end.Someone pushes the cable and someone pulls the string to where you thread it in. The outside person turns the wrench clockwise while the inside person turns the vise-grips counterclockwise, at exactly the same rotation so as not to kink the new cable casing. remove string, install new core, finish assembly.
