Started digging out the rotted wood with a chain saw. Next is removing part of the splash well for better access including inspecting the stringers.

Photos to follow. Uploading photos is a pain in the arse.

Had the same issue with the teleflex cable, cut off saw had it out in 2 seconds. figured better to replace than screw with it being 40 yrs old
What year is that hull ? engine?
