Hush,
I took the Merriman binnacle apart on my 1988 31. Of the four bolts the first was difficult, second was very difficult, third broke the top off the bolt but was able to cut a slot and remove and the fourth I had to drill out.
After that it was easy to replace steering cables, throttle cable and transmission cable. I had it sand blasted and powder coated. It looks great.
