First remove the lower cowl. The shift cable is connected to the bottom of the shift lever mechanism by a set screw. Loosen the set screw and the cable will come down the tube along with the lower unit as it is removed. When replacing the lower unit the cable must be threaded back up the tube and reconnected to the mechanism under slight tension while retightening the set screw. The rest of the procedure is pretty straight forward with a dose of common sense.
You will probably also need new leather primer seals and instructions for your carburetor. If so, send $10.00 cash and a SASE (self addressed stamped envelope) to me Lloyd Lautner, 9289 North Long Lake Road, Traverse City Michigan, 49685. Price recently increased to 10 bucks as it is getting hard to find the proper oil tanned leather of the right thickness. More good info at: pochefamily.org/outboard. Hope that helps!
