SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 23

Shift Cable Adjustment

IMPORTANT: Velvet Drive Transmission Warranty is jeopardized if the shift lever pop-
pet ball or spring is permanently removed, if the shift lever is repositioned or changed
in any manner or if remote control and shift cable do not position shift lever exactly
as shown.
IMPORTANT: The Velvet Drive 5000V is a full reversing transmission. Direction of out-
put/propeller rotation is determined by hookup of shift cable at remote control.
For Left-Hand Propeller Shaft Rotation: Shift cable hookup at remote control must result
in shift cable end guide moving in direction "A" when remote control handle is placed in for-
ward position.
For Right-Hand Propeller Shaft Rotation: Shift cable hookup at remote control must re-
sult in shift cable end guide moving in direction "B" when remote control handle is placed
in forward position.
