THROTTLE/SHIFT REMOTE CONTROL AND
CABLES
Shift control and shift cable MUST position transmission
shift lever EXACTLY as stated in this manual or
transmission failure may occur. Damage caused
to transmission as a result of improper shift lever
positioning WILL NOT be covered by transmission
manufacturer’s warranty.
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper shift and throttle
operation, control must provide a shift cable travel
of 2-3/4 in. (6.99 cm).
SEAWATER PICKUP CONNECTION
Seawater Pickup and Hose
Water pickup must be large enough to permit suffi cient
water fl ow to the engine seawater pickup pump for
adequate engine cooling [30 gallons per minute (114
liters per minute) minimum]. Pickup must supply a
positive head while underway. Water pickup should
be located as close to the seawater pickup pump inlet
as possible and in an area where an uninterrupted,
solid stream of water will fl ow past, when the boat is
underway.
Connect the water pickup to the seawater pickup pump
inlet with 1-1/4 in. (3.17 cm) I.D. wire reinforced hose
of adequate wall thickness to prevent it from collapsing
from the pump suction. Be sure to secure the hose
connections with hose clamps.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT install the water pickup
directly in line with the propeller, as the pickup
may create turbulence and allow air to fl ow
into the “propeller slipstream.” This will cause
propeller ventilation and will adversely affect boat
performance.
Figure 30 Water Pickup and Seacock
SEACOCK SIZE RECOMMENDATION
Seacock used must have an internal cross-sectional
area equal to, or greater than, the hose to prevent
restricting water fl ow. Install the valve in an area where
it will be easily accessible and supported adequately to
prevent hose fatigue. A minimum 1-1/4 in. (3.17 cm)
brass ball or gate valve is recommended.
SEA STRAINER RECOMMENDATION
Strainer used must be of suffi cient size to ensure that an
adequate supply of water will be maintained for cooling
the engine. A minimum of 30 gallons per minute (114
liters per minute) fl ow rate is required.
CRANKCASE OIL DIPSTICK RELOCATION
All Transmissions Except Hurth and Velvet
Drive 5000 Series
Engine crankcase oil dipstick and tube can be located
on either the starboard or port side of the engine to suit
installation requirements. To move the dipstick and tube
to the opposite side of the engine, if necessary, do the
