i need to remove the stupid cover to find what the two orange faded cables are coming from the engine and to replace them there is one area on the front of the engine (closest to boat) looks like a latch of some sort but cannot access the latch looking object the back (prop end of motor) has a hole that you can put your hand in at the top of the motor it wiggles around as if it is connected at two places can you tell me how to release this cover i have talked to several boat dealers and they do not seem to have any idea what it even looks like. okc_force72@hotmail.com

It is the latch looking thing on the back of the engine. They get frozen sometimes. Put an adjustable wrench on it and push down on the handle.
