5. Ensure that the cable is not permanently kinked.
6. Ensure that there is proper clearance for cable movement when the control box is installed in
the side panel. The cables must have room to move up and down when the control handle is
shifted into either FORWARD or REVERSE.
7. Ensure that the engine was not set down on the intermediate shift cable during installation,
as this will crush the inner cable tubing and cause improper and / or stiff shifting.
8. Do not fasten the shift cable with straps or clamps to any other cable within 1.5 m (5 ft) of the
shift plate.
9. Do not fasten the shift cable to the transom with any type of plastic clips or fasteners within
1.5 m (5 ft) of the shift plate.
10. Do not overtighten the throttle or shift cable attaching nuts at the engine end. Barrel and cable
end must be free to rotate on the mounting stud.
NOTE: Lubricate attaching points with engine oil.
SAE 30W Engine Oil
11. Check the intermediate shift cable routing from the transom assembly to the shift plate as
follows:
a.
b.
c.
Following this routing will prevent the engine coupler from damaging the cable.
NOTE: NOTE: A final check of the adjustments should be made with the boat in the water and
engine running. If this cannot be done or is not done at your manufacturing facility, arrangement
should be made with the dealer to do this as part of the pre‑delivery inspection
12. Shift effort tools will be available for new installations using certain Quicksilver Gen II Controls.
