Here's the exploded parts view of the transom assembly. If you hold the plastic plunger, you can use a socket to remove the lock nut. The plastic plunger is threaded onto the cable (this is for adjusting your trim display), and should simply unscrew from the cable. be careful - there is a spring behind the plunger. Once the plunger and spring are out, you should be able to slide the cable out the back, but you may have to have someone inside the boat, pushing the cable into the shield tube. If you're lucky, the proble will be buildup on the spring and plunger, but in many cases, it's the cable the goes bad. Disconnect the cable at the front end as well, and make sure that it slides freely. If not, you'll need to replace it. That can be done without removing the engine if you're careful. You may have to undo any clamps that hold the shield tube and manuever it so that the angle where it enters the transom shield is as straight as possible.

Good luck.

PS - Make sure the dash display isn't the problem!

I was at my boat today and figured out that the black plunger is severely stuck inside the silver tubeit would not budge at all. I actually snapped the tip of the black plunger that was protruding through the end of the tube. When the plastic snapped off, the cable slid freely in and out. Anyway, I fugured I either have to cut the tube to get the remainder of the plunger out and replace both or use some kind of thin pick like an ice pick to chisel the rest out. Any ideas what would work best? Like I said, the cable seems fine and moves freely now. And yup, the spring is popping out now also.

the bullet has a notch and screws out of the drive but first the smaller insert comes out once you remove cable screw. its spring loaded.
