Be sure the cable is not permanently kinked.
Make sure there is proper clearance for cable movement when the control box is
installed in the side panel. The cables must have room to move up and down when the
control handle is shifted into either forward or reverse.
7.
Check to make sure that the engine was not set down on the intermediate shift cable
during installation, as this will crush the inner cable tubing and cause improper and / or
stiff shifting.
8.
DO NOT fasten the shift cable with straps or clamps to any other cable within five feet
of the shift plate.
9.
DO NOT fasten the shift cable to the transom with any type of plastic clips or fasteners
within five feet of the shift plate.
10.
11.
DO NOT overtighten the throttle or shift cable attaching nuts at the engine end. Barrel
and cable end must be free to rotate on the mounting stud.
Check the intermediate shift cable routing from the transom assembly to the shift plate
as follows:
a. V6 and V8 (except 7.4L) Models: The cable should route above the exhaust pipe
and below starboard rear engine mount then turn toward the starboard side of the
boat between the exhaust pipe and the engine flywheel housing.
b. 7.4L MPI Models:The cable should route under the starboard rear engine mount
and turn toward the transom between the starboard rear engine mount and the
exhaust pipe.
c. The cable should then route behind the power steering valve and loop over to the
shift plate on the engine and connect to the anchor points on the shift plate.
Following this routing will prevent the engine coupler from damaging the cable.
