Thank you.....The boat is moored in the back of my house so I've been going out there and waiting to see if anyone had any ideas in the meantime.
I will get some PB Blaster to have around as while WD40 is good 90% of the time it's not always the best answer.
BUT! you are right that top screw holds a plate which hold the terminal connectors. It is not a "free space".
While I was waiting for hints from you guys I did remove that top screw and it of course removed the plate. I was able to WD40 the back of the screw as well and waited about 15 minutes and it let go for me!
Problem solved!
Now back to the original replacing of that red cable which seems to have shorted out. Hopefully it solves my core issue now...if not I'll be back begging for ideas.
Love our Whaler but whew.....they can be a challange.
