Shift Link Rod Adjustment

The shift link rod must be adjusted to lock the reverse gate
against unexpected engagement (caused by water pressure
hitting the gate) while operating the boat in forward. Activation of
the reverse gate will cause sudden unexpected stopping of the
boat. Sudden stopping may cause occupants to be thrown within
the boat or even out of the boat. This action may result in serious
injury or death.
