It's not a trick question! I bought an older boat, and I need to take the motor off to have it looked at. Sure, there are clamps, but there are LOTS of cables, three going into the gearbox/steering unit/throttle (I have no idea what that is called!). One goes simply to the gas tank, one goes to the battery, etc, but those that go into the box have me wondering how to disconnect them. I don't see any quick disconnects, so I assume I have to follow them into that box and remove them from in there. I was wondering if anybody had a simple how-to to do it, or could point me in the right direction.
It's a small 15 hp motor, and it just won't start. I'm more than willing to take it into a small engine repair guy, if I could figure out how to get it disconnected from the boat!
If anybody can explain it or tell me where to look, that would be great!
