That guidance is a practical service inference based on its documented role in the transom plate and shift cable assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall 14705 only after confirming the correct MerCruiser transom plate and shift cable diagram for the drive being serviced.
