Re: Shifting frustration

:p
I actually wore a shift spool in two.




By facing the dog clutch and possibly the forward and reverse dogs, that 6" measurement no longer applies. If anything, a little more throw has to be added by moving the anchor point slightly further away from the axis depending on the amount of adjustment needed.

Re: Shifting frustration

adjust your reverse throw with the slotted bolt at the end of the cable after u set the forward with the barrell adjuster.have someone turn the prop counter clock-wise while you push the cable in forward.u want 6 inches between the center of the adj barrell and the center of the hole on the end of the cable.then adjust for reverse the same way with the prop all the way turned in oppisite direction.cw.pull out all the way on cable and set it with the slotted adjuster.

Not sure if I know what you mean by "slotted bolt" and "slotted adjuster" you have pics?

Re: Shifting frustration

Well I took the lower unit completely apart again. I had it in put together in reverse instead of forward. Put it back together right and it shifts great. Put it in the water last night. Only problem now is when I shift into reverse the tilt wants to come up out of the water. Could being low in fluid cause this? Never had any problems with the power tilt before this.
