What boat did this come from?

[DAFF]

Somewhere the cables are binding or something is holding it in place. Removing the front cover is not going to get you any further. You can see a nylon nut on Titans back side pic which holds on the black cover. Perhaps you need more surface area in your pry tool to prevent cracking. Personally I think it comes down to pushing the cables towards the bow and prying the shifter out.

Titan when you removed yours was there much resistance??

I'v taking mine out a few times. It's always a tight squeeze. You probably have better luck if you remove a piece of plywood.

Jetlink- have you ever removed the controller on a Supra before? i'm just curious to see if there's something different about the controller you're working on. and, since nobody can tell...what kind of boat is this?

[Jetlink]

I'm telling ya, WD-40, spray silicone, something to see if it helps loosen it enough to slide out. That thing is apparently stock since others here have one. So it's been over 20 years since it's been installed, it's not going to want to let go easily.

I thought its more your problem now Haugy...lol

I've never removed this one before, I have removed a few other morse controllers before and none has ever put up this much of a fight. This particular morse control is still installed on my '86 comp. I ended up admitting defeat and dropped it off last night for service. Even they are having a difficult time getting it out as they have been working at it 3 hours now and it's still in the boat.

No, none at all. It's a somewhat tight squeeze, but mine came out in about 5 mins. There's definitely something different about Jetlink's and I'm betting on some 5200 being involved.

That's true. Get that fixed before I pick it up mkay? And should we tell everyone your Comp is now mine? Or is that a secret?

Yo Haugy, you goofed. This wasn't a PM.

If you're still having trouble with this, here's a thread with lots of pics on a teardown and rebuild of an MV1.
