Water Testing
Checking for Cavitation (Continued)
2. Rough Water Plate (b) – Using this type of plate
may be helpful in reducing cavitation when
running in windy rough water conditions where
air is sucked-in the water intake when jumping
waves. Install a 1/32 in. metal plate that extends
from the hull bottom to the top of the water intake
housing. This plate tends to reduce air intake as
well as reduce spray.

Shift Cable Installation Jet
105 and 140
WARNING
The shift cable must be adjusted to lock the
reverse gate against unexpected engagement
(caused by water pressure hitting the gate) while
operating the boat in forward. Activation of the
reverse gate will cause sudden unexpected
stopping of the boat. Sudden stopping may
cause occupants to be thrown within the boat or
even out of the boat. This action may result in
serious injury or death.
1. Attach shift cable (a) to the shift cam (b) with flat
washer and locknut as shown. Tighten locknut
against the flat washer, then back-off the locknut
1/4 turn.
2. Place remote control handle into full forward
position.
3. Adjust the brass barrel (c) on the shift cable so
that roller (d) is at the full end of travel (bottom) in
the shift cam when the remote control is in full
forward.
4. Attach the brass barrel (c) to the bracket with bolt
and locknut. Tighten the bolt until it seats against
the barrel, then back-off the bolt 1/4 turn. Hold
bolt from turning, and tighten locknut on bolt. The
barrel must be free to pivot.

5. Recheck the shift cable adjustment in forward
shift position. The correct shift adjustment will
position the cam far enough on the roller in order
to lock the the reverse gate into forward position.
You should not be able to forcibly push up the
reverse gate toward neutral. Pull on the reverse
gate by hand to verify this.
IMPORTANT: The forward locking of the reverse
gate must be met. If not, readjust the shift cable.
