FLybridge Shifting

[VisionIsle]

Is it normal to have the flybridge shift in the opposite direction than the lower helm? For example when Im driving from the top I have to pull the gear lever down to go forward as opposed to pushing it forward to move forward (as it is on the lower helm).<br /><br />I dont mind it so much but it gets confusing when your trying to pull into your berth in rough situations.

No it's not normal and it shouldn't be that way.<br />What kind of controls do you have and how are the cables run.

Hi Don,<br /><br />The cable I had was grey, no idea the brand. It is 12' long goes from the flybride (hooked up to the bottom of the control) , down the wire shoot into the lower helm and has about a 10" curl to the lower control.<br />I have pulled it out and I just recieved a new 12' cable33 supreme. It moves soooo much smoother. I tried before to switch the grey cable to the top of the control so I could push forward and go forward and it actually broke at the threads. I think with this new cable I will try to hook it up correctly. Im going to take her out this weekend, make sure of the overheating problem and try to shift form the flybridge.
