Any time the boat is operated, be aware of
changes in shift system operation. A sudden
increase in shift effort of the shifter levers, or
other abnormal operation, indicates a possible
problem in the shift system. If this occurs,
the following precautions must be taken:
Lubrication.should.be.performed.as.often.as.neces-
sary.to.keep.the.system.operating.smoothly..Cable.
manufacturers such as Teleflex and Morse often offer
special.tools.to.make.cable.lubrication.easier.

tied to the dock, shift drive into forward
and reverse to ensure there is gear
engagement.

sary..Adjustment.screws.in.the.control,.on.the.cables.
and.in.the.linkage.are.provided.

vers must be performed at slow speed.

problems and precautions taken.
