There is a c-clip on the end inside the boat( straight end) . Remove and push through assembly. Sometimes held in by corrosion , may take some effort. Dont damage surfaces o-rings contact.Good Luck!!!

What is the real purpose of those small steel cable hooked between lets say the bell housing attached to the gimball? Is it like making a ground thru all components so the anodes do their job better? Or is it to secure the parts in case it breaks so you dont loose it in the water?

Grounding only- They aren't strong enough to hold anything.
