IMO I like the Mercruiser OEM Teflon coated cable better. Also merc shift cable bellows is a tad better to. If you buy the extreme cable from Sierra there should be a small page of directions in it. I do not have any left at this timeframe, sold my last extreme cable last week to another dealer.
IMO the OEM service manuals would be a great investment if you are working on your boat and continue to do so. it is also wise to buy some of the OEM service tools to make the job easier and done properly. I already gave out, how to make an easy free shift cable fish tool to make things a lot easier for installing the new cable as well.
No offense, Not saying this in a bad way. I do not watch internet public video's for any boat related repairs and installs so I have no idea where to find shift cable installs or any of that.. Sorry I am no help on that end.

Thanks for the advice, BUP. I think I understand what you are saying in regards to the shift cable as a fish, but sometimes a picture's worth a thousand words. I'll poke around and see if I can find a diagram of the cable routing. Bound to be out there somewhere. Have a good one.
