well I have adjusted the shift cables and I think one of the cables needs replaceing. But whish one would need replaceing? I adjusted the drive cable according to all the instructions i could find. I pushed the cable all the way in locked the prop in a counter clock wise motion and held it there with a bungee strap. I then adjusted the brass barrell on the cable to 6 in center to center. Placed it back on the shift bracket. Adjusted the remote shift cable to fit on the bracket and put that on. I then adjusted the reverse by moving the stud to get it to lock into reverse. I then tested the ratching in both forward and reverse. In forward there is alot of tension when you psin the prop clockwise. In reverse there is almost no resistance when you spin the prop counter clockwise. Also when you start the motor and shift into gear forward shifts almost as soon as you move the lever forward. Reverse does not lock in untill the lever is almost all the way back. Also Forward seems to lick in and sound ok but reverse does not seem to lock all the way in and you can hear like a ratcheting sound. I have two levers one for throttle and one for gear selecting and if you put the gear selecting one in forward all the way the motor will stall because the interupt switch is then pushed and held to kill the motor. I then adjusted the remote control cable back to where i found it with the brass barrell all the way against the cable sheath and I am back where i started the motor doesnt stall and it will shift into forward and reverse but its like it does lock completely in because it sounds like its ratcheting in both forward and reverse.
