Hey Zachary, thank you for the feedback! Miraculously, this evening I was able to pass the nut of the new cable through the existing hole with some not-so-gentle persuasion. I'm very surprised I didn't have to loosen the engine, or elongate the hole with that pictured misalignment. Sore arms, but tickled pink!!! Second night at it, but job is 95% done now. Engine side is all cleaned, greased and reassembled. New helm and wheel is (re)installed, just need to finish routing cable and feed/align wheel. Stoked it somehow worked out "easily".
