SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 28
REMOVAL, INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
TroubleshootingShift Problems
NOTE: The following information is provided to assist an installer in troubleshooting, if hard
shifting or chucking/racheting is encountered when shifting into forward gear.
1.
When installing the control box in the side panel of the boat, make sure that the cables
have enough clearance to operate. This is necessary because the cables move up and
down when the shift handle is moved. If the control box is mounted too far back towards
any fiberglass structure, the cables will be interfered with, this will cause very hard
shifting.
NOTE: The control box housing can be rotated in 30° increments to improve cable routing.

3.
Make sure that when the shift cable from the control box is lead through the side gunnel
of the hull, that it does not have any extremely sharp bends in it as this will cause the
stiff shifting.
Before installing the shift cable into the control box, extend the stainless rod eye end of
the cable and grease it with 2-4-C Marine Lubricant with Teflon. Move it back and forth
to allow even distribution of the grease.

4.
Do not strap or clamp the control cables to any other cables or rigid structure within three
feet of the control box.
