Re: omc shift rod

Disconnect the control cable on the mtr coming from the control box. It makes it eaisier. Normanally you can have the l/u in forward. What manuals do you have?? Haven't got my OMC manuals with me right now to check the shift rod position as to facing forward or backward. I'm sure somebody will chime in.

Just got home. Screw the seloc manuals and follow the Evinrude manual. The off set faces forward but go by the Evinrude manual for correct shift rod adjustment height.
