The guy recommended the shift cable kit also be changed when the Gimbal and Belo housing are changed. Can anyone vouch for this.

My boat had a shimmy and a knocking sound when idle.

If he changes everything it's is about $885. If he skips the shift cable kit, it will run me $625. Does this sound fair?

Boat:
1998 VIP Valiant
v6 Mercruiser 4.3

Ayuh,... I won't comment on the rates you're payin',...
But,...
Not changing the shift cable while the transom is apart is Foolhardy,...
Maybe even down right Foolish...
