Shift Cable Installation And Adjustment
IMPORTANT: When installing shift cables, be sure that cables are routed in such a
way as to avoid contact with moving parts and/or sharp bends. All bends must make
greater than an 8 inch (203 mm) radius. DO NOT fasten any items to shift cables.
Shift cable must be hooked up to remote control before starting installation and adjustment
procedures. Refer to Transmission - Propeller Rotation, for transmission shift lever direction
of movement versus propeller shaft output direction of rotation.
