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.
