Bravo Shift Cable Installation and Adjustment

Bravo Models Shift Cable Installation

IMPORTANT: When installing shift cables, ensure 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: Sterndrive propeller rotation is determined by the shift cable installation in the remote control.
• Bravo One/Two ‑ If the shift cable end guide moves in direction A when the remote control lever is placed into forward,
remote control is set up for right‑hand (RH) propeller rotation.
• Bravo One/Two ‑ If the shift cable end guide moves in direction B when the remote control lever is placed in forward, the
remote control is set up for left‑hand (LH) propeller rotation.
• Bravo Three ‑ The front propeller on the sterndrive is always left‑hand rotation and the rear propeller is always right‑hand
rotation. The shift cable end guide must move in direction A when the remote control lever is placed into forward gear
position.

Bravo Models Remote Control Shift Cable Adjustment

NOTE: The shift cable adjustment tool (91‑12427T) should be used to adjust the remote control shift cable, with or without the
sterndrive installed.
