General; Shift Cable Installation And Adjustment - Mercury 305 CID Service Manual

General

The Hurth transmission is a "full power reversing"
transmission, allowing a standard (LH rotation) en-
gine to be used for both rotations. Propeller rotation
is determined by shift cable attachment at the remote
control.
! CAUTION
Avoid severe transmission damage. ALL Hurth
transmissions require standard left-hand rota-
tion engines. NEVER connect a Hurth transmis-
sion to a right-hand rotation engine.
IMPORTANT: Transmission propeller rotation is
determined by the shift cable installation in the
remote control.
RIGHT-HAND PROPELLER ROTATION - Con-
trol cable will have to be installed in remote
control so that cable end will move in direction
(A) when shift handle is placed in the forward
position.
LEFT-HAND PROPELLER ROTATION - Control
cable will have to be installed in remote control so
that cable end will move in direction (B) when shift
handle is placed in the forward position.

Shift Cable Installation and
Adjustment
IMPORTANT: When installing shift cables, be
sure that cables are routed in such a way as to
avoid sharp bends and/or contact with moving
parts. DO NOT fasten any items to shift cables.
IMPORTANT: These Hurth transmissions are full
reversing transmissions. Direction of output/
propeller rotation is determined by hookup of
shift cable at remote control.
NOTE: Shift cable must be hooked up to remote
control before starting installation and adjustment
procedures.
For Standard Left-Hand Rotation – shift cable
hookup at remote control must result in shift cable
end guide moving in direction (B), when remote con-
trol handle is placed in forward position.
For Right-Hand Rotation – shift cable hookup at re-
mote control must result in shift cable end guide mov-
ing in direction (A), when remote control handle is
placed in forward position.
