My 86 Evinrude shifts into forward quickly but reverse doesn't engage until the throttle starts picking up. My cable at the motor has no more adjustment. Do I need to remove the lower unit and adjust the shift rod up or down?<br />Thanks<br />Brian

Re: shift cable adjustment

You can sometimes disconnect the shift shaft and adjust the shift rod by turning with a pair of pliars. Best method is to remove the lower unit.
