I did mine without taking the outboard off but it was a pain. Had to cut the hole out under the rubber boot. Not sure how yours is set up but the hole wasnt lined up with where the solid part of cable goes into the outboard. I think mine had a sleeve that went through the outbaord, took that out to give me some extra room. but had to prop up the motor so it didnt fall from what i can remember. It was a couple years ago.
