I hit the lottery,,,,,kind of ?

[steplift20]

So today I put my steering cable in without taking the motor off, I cut a notch in the side of the hole that it comes thru and moved the tilt tube to the left, that's when I got almost screwed I got the cable in, very hard to do that but I got it and the tube went in to much and the engine moved down just enough that I could not get it lined up so after sweating and asking my beautiful wife to give me a hand She hit the port side of the tube while I aligned it from the starboard side and it went in Great but I thought I screwed up the threads I didn't got it all back together And guess what
She steers great I hit the lottery kinda I know there's a lot I wrote maybe this will help someone Got it on without removing the motor Nice
