Re: water in the boat

If you are lucky and have a rear attaching cable you just need to pull the drive and the cable will come out from the back after detaching form the shift converter and pull the plastic slide off.. If not you will have to pull the drive and the bell housing form the gimbal ring. You need to get the cable out of the boat to put the new boot over it.
