Need OMC Help!!

[macojoe]

I have a budy that has a broken shift cable on his 88 Evinrude, He askwed for my help changing it.

I said no problem!! Thats easy!!

Well I look like a fool now!! :-[ I tryed and tryed but can not get that control box to come apart!! :-/

Here are some pic's of the box. It use to be black but all the paint has come off!! Looks like Crap but works fine till now!

I get the 3 screws out and try to pry it apart, but there is something I am missing??

Looks good inside from what I see, all greased nice and astuff? But something is holding it.

Thanks guys!!



There are no screws here on the back?? Just threaded holes?
