Shift Link Rod Adjustment
!
WARNING
Pressurized water hitting the reverse gate may cause it to engage, causing
sudden and unexpected slowing of the boat. This can cause serious injury or
death from occupants being thrown within or out of the boat. Adjust the shift
link rod to lock the reverse gate, preventing it from interfering with water flow.
CHECKING SHIFT LINK ROD ADJUSTMENT
Check the shift link rod adjustment in forward shift position. The correct
adjustment will position the shift cam far enough on the roller in order to lock
the reverse gate into forward position. The reverse gate should not be able to
be forced up towards neutral. Pull on the reverse gate by hand to verify.
