Rigging Tube Split
My rigging tube (black vacuum-like hose from transom to engine) split. It seems like the repair will involve taking off the wiring harness from the engine ('08 Optimax 150). Can anyone give me a degree of difficulty or any tips on removing the wiring harness? And getting it back on! Thanks, I'm somewhat of a novice relative to others on this site.

BLACK duct tape....  Welcome to the site MuttonSnapper. We are all novices at one time or another. As to your question on removing the wires, although I cannot speak from direct experience on your particular engine, I can say that if your engine is like most of the engines I've worked on through the years they were all made to simply plug into a connector. Usually just 3 main wires.. One battery positive, One battery negative and a bundled cable that plugged into the engine's electrical system. Simple stuff really. About a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. Some of the other guys on here have direct experience on your engine and I'm sure they will be happy to answer your question accurately.

MuttonSnapper post some pics of the harness, rigging tube, boat, motor, speed numbers (
 ) etc. If you are running the SmartCraft its all fly by wire. Follow the wires where they come out the rigging tube, and mark, then unplug them. Disconnect the negative battery cable first. Maybe RidgeRunner will be able to help out, as he has a 250XS.

don't the shift and throttle cables go thru there too?
 That adds a little to the difficulty in that you need to make sure they are still adjusted right at the completion of the project. I'll have to defer to someone with a Merc on that...
