Shift Link Rod Adjustment
WARNING
The shift link rod 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.
CHECKING SHIFT LINK ROD ADJUSTMENT
1 Check the shift link rod (a) adjustment in forward shift position. The correct
adjustment will position the shift cam (b) far enough on the roller (c) in order to
lock the the reverse gate (d) 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.
ADJUSTING SHIFT LINK ROD
2 Place the shift handle into full forward shift position.
3 Adjust the length of the shift link rod (a) so that roller (c) is at the full end of travel
(bottom) in the shift cam (c) when the shift handle is in full forward.
