Im not sure if your 2012 is rigged like my 2008 but mine was an easy fix, after the not-so-easy first fix. Initially I cut the torn rigging tube at the tear, removed the coupler at the cowling, removed the torn piece of rigging tube from the coupler, screwed the un-torn portion of tube back into the coupler and reinstalled the coupler to the cowling; the rigging tube was good to go for about two years – that was the not-so-easy fix. When the rigging tube tore again I simply cut the tube at the tear, pulled the cut piece of tubing out of the coupler, and then screwed (counter clockwise if memory serves) the un-torn tube back into the coupler using two hands to turn the tube at the coupler and where the tube enters the boat simultaneously (to avoid twisting the tube). Took about three minutes and required no coupler dis-assembly. Three years now with no further problems… Chip ReavesU.S. Army Retired (Aviation)Cougar FTD/250 ProXSShell Knob, MO/Cape Coral,FL
