185 throttle cable replacement

Sorry to hog the forum here but there is a wealth of experience here like nowhere else.

Bought a new throttle cable and it will be going in the shop tomorrow to address that and a couple of other items.

Question is: can the throttle be replaced without moving the engine?

My plane is fortunate, or perhaps unfortunate in the is case, to have a new non tilting Seaplanes West engine mount.
 
Sure. Any competent mechanic will know how to do it. I'dd you get the Throttle cable from McFarlane ? They are the best.

I have the same mount. To say that I was angry when it arrived is to put it mildly. I got a field approval to modify it to a tilt down 185 mount. Now I'm much happier.
 
Replaced it today and although it took longer than my mechanic expected it is very smooth.
