    Oh am I so wrong, I watched it again and it's the throttle cable that I saw move a bit. Jeese I feel like a jerk!

    Time to reassemble

    Yes I get that, but when he went back to the helm after measuring the travel in the remote cable he shifts back to forward to set the barrel on the remote, when he did that l saw the lower cable move. Maybe the drive popped out of gear at the same time. Just watch it and let me know what you see.

    Time to reassemble

    I will, the video is good and watched it many times, maybe I missed something. I will run the adjustment again and probably learn.. When Chris does the control cable adjustment and went to the helm to shift it back to forward I see the remote move a bit and that confused me. How can that be?

    Time to reassemble

    I would like the drive to drop out of forward a bit sooner when returning to neutral. It goes into forward well before the throttle advances but sometimes I need to press the trigger on the control and pull it a bit further when going to neutral. Would bending the interrupt roller a bit closer...

    Time to reassemble

    Well I followed the SEI break-in schedule faithfully and have clocked up 10 hours of run time below 3000 rpm, and have run it up to full throttle a bit and I'm happy. The drive still wines but less than before or I got used to it, being only the second boat I ever had with an I/O I don't really...

    Retirement in another Country

    I moved to TN almost 15 years ago. A rural area on the river about 50 miles from larger cities. We like the seasonal weather changes, rolling hills and most of all the river. After spending a lifetime in ATL I wanted some space. About all I can say is don't wait too long, time flies while your...

    Ready to Install Outdrive, However...

    I am wondering if it has a sealing ring at all. I suppose you will put a new one in it? Man that salt water is brutal, just looking at all the gunk on the shift lever its a wonder it even moves.
