See table 4-1 at the end of this
section for typical actuator
parameters. This information is

should be verified before use.
DANGER
THIS PROCEDURE REQUIRES
TURNING A PROPELLER BY
HAND WITH THE IGNITION ON.
USE EXTREME CAUTION.
It is not uncommon to have a
longer actuator stroke length for
the push direction gear. The
difference is more pronounced
with longer cables.

Actuator Adjustment
After installing the cables, proper adjustment is critical for overall
system performance. This section will describe how to adjust the
shift and throttle cables. Be sure to review and understand the
installation goals for each section before proceeding.
4.1.2.1 Shift Adjustment
Successful installation and adjustment of the shift cables should
accomplish the following goals:
• To have shift cables adjusted so the neutral position of the actuator
represents the neutral position of the engine shift linkage.
• To set the stroke length to achieve full engagement of gear without
interfering with the physical shift linkage limit.
• To have both gears fully disengage when returned to neutral.
Procedure
1. Turn ignition on but do not start engines.
2. Navigate to Dealer Menu > Initial Setup > Shift & Throttle >
Adjust Port Shift Actuator.
3. While an assistant spins the port engine prop by hand, use the
control lever to put the port engine into forward gear. Check that
the gear engages fully.
4. If the gear does not fully engage, increase the Forward Stroke
Parameter by 1mm at a time, press Save, and repeat the test
until gear engagement is satisfactory.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 in reverse gear, this time adjusting the
Reverse Stroke parameter.
6. Verify that the engine returns to neutral properly from both forward
and reverse gear. The propeller must freewheel in neutral. If
it doesn't, adjust the actuator-side rod end until the neutral
position is correct.
7. Tighten the rod end lock nut (refer to the i7X00 installation manual).
You will need to apply Loctite
this after verifying performance in the sea trial.
8. Repeat this procedure for the starboard shift actuator.
4.1.2.2 Shift Adjustment
Successful installation and adjustment of the throttle cables should
accomplish the following goals:
• To have throttle cables adjusted evenly so the engines start to rev
up at the same time given the same throttle (lever) position.
• To have the throttle always return to idle when the lever(s) are
moved to idle.
• To have minimal lever travel before engines rev up.
• To set the stroke length so that wide open throttle (WOT) is
achieved without unnecessarythrottle cable movement.
