Straighten the cables at the top of the shaft, and slowly pull the propeller drive motor away from the shaft 

base until you can see the power and data cables   connected to the propeller drive motor.

Push the transducer cable grommet out from inside the downshaft adapter.
Holding the cables only, slowly pull them through the shaft, taking care that the connectors do not get caught 

on the top of the shaft.
The power and transducer cables should pull through the shaft completely.
