started my transom

[pogden]

Well, I started my transom a few days ago.
On the Master Angler the cap's a little big and heavy, but I was able to slide the whole thing forward about four feet to give me room to get to the transom. The transom was definitely bad.
I probably did this back-assward but now I am removing the wiring harness and cables. As well as the gas tank,it needs to be replaced also, it has pitting along the top. The foam on the top was soaked. I havn't seen the bottom yet.

Do you tie a thin rope to the cables and harness when you pull them out so you can use it to pull new ones back in??

I will post pic's after my next work day (for fun day) as opposed to my next work day (for the govnerment/wife/kids/dog day).
