    Alpha 1 gen 2 shift cable adjustment

    Per muc in post 18 MCM added the shift assist because people wouldn’t learn how to do a correct adjustment. It’s there to pull the shift spool towards neutral and take pressure off of it. As a side benefit it seems to help people learn to into and out of gear firmly.

    Alpha 1 gen 2 shift cable adjustment

    OK gotcha All controllers get 4 turns added to cable with or without shift assist. Only the 3000 controller gets adjusted if it does not lineup with shift assist. But no more than say quarter inch! Ratcheting should Be a little easier in reverse than forward! And last but not least neither...

    Alpha 1 gen 2 shift cable adjustment

    None of this has answered my original question which was what is the purpose of the 4 turns out on control cable and is it needed ? Some have said that it adds preload to forword gear but my thinking is that the 4 turns out will actually move the shift closer to neutral?

    Alpha 1 gen 2 shift cable adjustment

    I watched that 100 times and it states add 4 turns away from the end of the cable I'm familiar with the procedure I'm asking what is the purpose of the 4 turns... the reason I'm asking is some say preload on forward gear but what the 4 turns actually does is moves it in the direction of neutral...

    Alpha 1 gen 2 shift cable adjustment

    This is from the manual which one would assume you add the 4 turns regardless which would move the lower more toward neutral NOTE:Some models may be equipped with a shift assist assembly. The only difference with these models is that the remote control shift cable attaching hardware is slightly...

    Alpha 1 gen 2 shift cable adjustment

    Ok so I have a question. In the mercruiser manual it says " After cable has been aligned, turn brass barrel 4 turns away from cable end guide " What is the purpose of this? Then it says. " For Commander 3000 Controls, if shift assist assembly attaching points do not align, verify controller is...

    Mercruiser Alpha One Gen 2 Remote Control Shift Cable Output only 3-1/4"

    Not to question you Chris because it's no doubt that you are far more nolagable than I but I'm trying to wrap my head around this statement. Since lengthing the control cable pulls on the shift cable wouldn't that move closer too reverse? Just trying to wrap my head around it

    Ok so put around 3psi or so in the unit last night 2 hours later it was still holding... I checked it this am and it had dropped to almost nothing which presumably is due to the temp since it dropped like 20 degrees over night .... .... but when I got home this evening it was back up to where it...

    93 Alpha 1 gen 2 oil leak

    Ok I do understand lip seals and I understand more pressure less leak however what I don't understand is that it holds 10psi for several days then it dropped to 5psi and stayed there for over a week now granted on hot 100 degree days it would go up to 9-10 psi ... so I guess my next step is...

    achris trust me thr stickys are the first place I go but I wasnt really looking for an answer to where its leaking so much as to the fact that it held pressure overnight and then I would check it randomly over a few days and it dropped 5psi within a few days .... my initial thoughts was...
