the shift & throttle cable were pretty easy. i have a side mount control box. just unbolt it from the side(3 long bolts), undo the back cover(2 screws), & un-clip cables. on the engine side, remove cowl, undo snaps that hold cables in place and just pop them out. i ran the new cables when i ran the steering cable. it sure shifts like a new one now..

Cool, I'm going to do that after January during down time. I've actually removed my binnacle before to replace the trim switch on the handle. Guess I just didn't pay attention to how the controls were attached.
Before then though, we've got three Saturdays left before gag grouper closure. Hope the weather is cooperative.
