I have a 1995 Century with a 5.7l/alpha one. Last year I replaced the throttle/shifter control and replaced the throttle cable along with it. I can't remember if I replaced the shift cable along with the throttle cable or not. It was working perfectly, smooth as silk shifting. I stored it in a building over the winter, while i did various repairs/upgrades to the boat. I did have to replace the shift cable going from the engine to the outdrive. I followed the manual and had it adjusted to what the book said. When I first started it up this spring on muffs, the shifting was off a bit so I turned the barrel nut a bit and got it shifting as it needed to be. I took the boat out to the lake yesterday and I noticed it felt like it was binding up when shifting from forward/reverse into neutral. Not very bad, but I did have to use some extra force when shifting it,a couple times I actually ended up throwing it in reverse when trying to put it in neutral from forward gear.
I haven't had a chance to look at the cables, but is there something in particular I should look at? I can't remember if it was stiff when I was running it on muffs or not. I only noticed it once I was on the water.
