Mercury MX 6.2 MPI Installation Manual page 45

5000 SERIES (8 DEGREE DOWN ANGLE AND V-DRIVE)
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
FORWARD position.
For Right-Hand Propeller Shaft Rotation: Shift cable hookup at remote control must
result in shift cable end guide moving in direction "B" when remote control handle is placed
in FORWARD position.
Remote control must provide a total shift cable travel (at transmission end) of at least
2-3/4 in. (70 mm). This is necessary to position transmission shift lever fully in the FOR-
WARD and REVERSE gear positions. Insufficient shift cable travel will cause transmission
to slip and eventually fail.
IMPORTANT: The distance between studs (Dimension "c") shown in the following
illustration is factory set at 7-1/8 in. (181 mm).
