SHIFT CABLE INSTALLATION
If not properly installed, the reverse gate can interfere with water
coming off the rudder, suddenly and unexpectedly slowing the
boat. This can cause serious injury or death from occupants
being thrown within or out of the boat. Adjust the shift cable to
prevent the reverse gate from interfering with water flow off the
rudder.
1. Attach the shift cable to the shift cam with a flat washer and a
self‑locking nylon insert locknut as shown. Tighten the locknut
against the flatwasher, then back‑off the locknut 1/4 turn.
2. Place the remote control handle into full forward position.
3. Adjust the shift cable adjustment barrel so that the roller is at
the full end of travel (bottom) in the shift cam.
