So I've finally built up the courage to replace my shift cable myself. While I'm there I've decided I'm going to do my gimble bearing and drive shaft bellows since I've had the boat 4 years and don't know when it was last done. I have the Merc Manuals but I still have some questions.
How do I know which cable to buy? I can't find any part numbers. I've see kits that include the belows and clamps but I want to buy the right one.
If I replace the gimble bearing do I have to buy an alignment tool even if the engine is aligned when I remove the old one?
I know I'll need Merc Bellows Adhesive but are there any other tools or Merc specific items required? Can I adjust the cable without the adjustment tool?
I'm sure I'll have more questions along the way. Thanks for your help
