you are supposed to tighten the allen screw then back off till the slide will rotate freely, this keeps it from bindig up, there should be little to no end play in the slide. If you drop your lower unit to do a water pump, look at the shift shaft, make sure its stainless(shiney looking), look at the splines real carefull to make sure they aren't corroded. before mercruiser changed to stainless, i used to replace them all the time for sifting issues

I haven't responded because these guys are better than I am Chuck.

actually chumbo i was hoping you knew where the diagram could be found for the upper cable adjustment.

[chumbucket]

Lemme see what I can find.
I lost a lot of good stuff when my computer crashed a short time ago.

Chuck. Send me a PM with your e-mail addy. I have an extensive .pdf file that I can send you with a lot of good info. Probably something that'll help you out.
I tried to upload here to the site, but the file is larger than the site allows.
