Troubleshooting Shift Problems
NOTE: The following information is provided to assist an installer in troubleshooting if hard
shifting or chucking/racheting is encountered when shifting into FORWARD gear.
1. When installing the control box in the side panel of the boat, make sure that the cables
have enough clearance to operate. This is necessary because the cables move up and
down when the shift handle is moved. If the control box is mounted too far back toward
any fiberglass structure, the cables will be interfered with; this will cause very hard
shifting.
NOTE: The control box housing can be rotated in 30 degree increments to improve cable
routing.

2. Make sure that when the shift cable from the control box is led through the side gunnel
of the hull, it does not have any extremely sharp bends in it as this will cause stiff shifting.
