[C320-list] Shifter Cable

[Scott Thompson]

You will probably find what you need in the Edson manual that describes 
how to install the control cables, available at Edson, or on the C320 
web site.  Look here:

It looks like a pretty involved process that may require an extra pair 
of hands.  Note that on my boat at least, the bolt that holds the 
bracket that secures the pedestal end of the cable is hidden inside the 
engine instrument pod.  I think you will need to remove that bracket, 
and so you will want to remove the wheel and the face of the instrument 
cluster first.  That's in addition to all the other things you need to 
take apart as described in the manual.  Good luck.
