7. Always use specified oil cooler, hoses and fittings. Hoses must be at least 13/32 in. (10.5
mm) I.D. Oil cooler, hoses and fittings must be sufficient size to maintain transmission
fluid (in sump) at 140-190°F (60-88°C).
Propeller
Propeller rotation is described when observed from the rear of the boat (stern) looking for-
ward (bow end). The term "left-hand" (LH) refers to rotation in the counterclockwise (CCW)
direction. The term "right-hand" (RH) refers to rotation in the clockwise (CW) direction. A LH
propeller will move the boat forward when rotated counterclockwise. A RH propeller will
move the boat forward when rotated clockwise. Propeller rotation is not necessarily the
same as engine rotation.
Transmission Shift Lever
The lever has three holes as illustrated following. The shift lever stud is placed in the forward
hole when using Quicksilver remote control cables.
Shift Cable Adjustment
Refer to SECTION 2C - "MIE Models - Velvet Drive Transmissions" for installation and
adjustment.
