Does anyone have any suggestions re: how to access this nut to remove the life line stanchion? My goal is the replace a total of 3 of these as they are bent. The other 2 are on the starboard side 2nd and 3rd back from bow. Haven't attempted those yet.

On changing the shifter and throttle cables... there is a plastic bracket about half way down the inside/aftside of the binnacle which grabs the cables and keeps them out of the way of steering gear and other stuff. It is nearly impossible to get the cables into this bracket with the binnacle stand in place; can be done but you need to remove the steering chain sprocket to do it! Much easier to remove the four bolts in the cockpit floor and lay the binnacle on its side which makes the entire job much easier.

If that still does not work you will need to 'pull a prime' by either using a vacuum pump at one faucet with all other faucets closed, or you can try sucking on one open faucet with the pump running( similar to stealing gasoline from the neighborhood cars )---the older boys told me about that.
