Thanks for that response, yeah adjusting the cable makes sense to me being that when my old mechanic had it for a repair the prop was not turning when in nuetral when I went to pick the boat up from him, so he just started turning the thumb nut until it turned freely in nuetral and also went into both forward and reverse. I never felt comfortable that the adjustments were correct. The boat shifts very easily (almost to easy) into gear. Maybe this will fix it, thanks.

Makes it hard to pull out of gear and awful hard crashing into gear. Recommended RPM is around 600 at idle in gear. If she is down at 400 in gear now she must be tuned just about perfect.  |
