Battery Inspection - Mercury 25 Jet 4-Stroke Manual

CHECKING SHIFT LINK ROD ADJUSTMENT
Check the shift link rod adjustment in forward shift position. The
correct adjustment will position the shift cam far enough on the
roller in order to lock the reverse gate into forward position. The
reverse gate should not be able to be forced up towards neutral.
Pull on the reverse gate by hand to verify.
