Shift Cable Installation and
Adjustment to Engine
NOTE: Attach shift cable to engine first. Shift cable is the
first cable to move when remote control handle is ad-
vanced from neutral position toward in-gear position.
If remote control has a neutral lock release, secure the re-
lease in the depressed position using a piece of tape. Now
the true neutral detent can be found.
NOTE: Move remote control handle back and forth. You
will feel three detent positions; center detent is neutral.
1. Position remote control handle into neutral detent.
2. Manually shift outboard into neutral (propeller will ro-
tate freely).
3. Route shift cable (a) thru control cable grommet (b).
4. Adjust cable barrel (c) to attain the same length be-
tween cable barrel and hole in end of cable as exists
between barrel receptacle (d) and shift actuator stud
(e), keep a slight preload toward reverse.
5. Place end of shift cable on actuator stud (e), then place
plastic washer (f) on stud and secure with locknut (g).

shaft is rotated by hand. The prop shaft should
not be able to turn clockwise. If it does, adjust
cable barrel away from cable end guide. Repeat
