Improper cable bend
2. Ensure 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.
IMPORTANT: Remote control cables MUST BE THE CORRECT LENGTH; sharp bends on
too‑short cables result in kinks and too‑long cables require unnecessary bends or loops. Both
conditions place extra stress on the cables.
IMPORTANT: Shift cable/throttle cable lubrication points use 2‑4‑C with Teflon.
3. Before installing the shift cable into the control box, extend the stainless rod eye end of the
cable and lubricate it. Move it back and forth to allow even distribution of the lubricant.
