I looked all over the cable and helm and cannot find the size....I was assuming 17' or 18'

Thanks....if i didnt have this website, I wouldnt be boating this season!

I didn't have to remove motor on my 74...hopefully someone will chime in here and say for sure on yours...

The Overton's page I posted a link to above has all you need to know about determining size needed for your boat..take a look and be sure before you order...

Take some pics of what yer doin if you can and post 'em up for us...

Well looks like inaforty answered your question about removing the motor...get a length of healthy chain and go over a limb or beam or something substantial...using the tongue jack on your trailer, let it all the way down...hook up the chain w/no slack in it and raise the tongue which will lower the transom, which will leave your motor hanging on the chain...that or rent or borrow a cherry-picker...
