"Had a problem getting into forward. Engine would start to speed up before engagement. Adjusted lower unit shift cable and it was OK. A little while later with one days use it starts doing it again. Adjusted cable and it's working right.
I troll so it is shifted twice a day , once going out and again comming in. I can't believe the cable is shot after this little use. Is there a lube point on the lower unit for the cable linkage. I have oiled the cable but to Me the cable seemes to have some resistance.
I have heard of cable streaching but to get into forward the cable is pushing ,not pulling.
If You think the cable should be changed, would I be able to get just the inner and leave the outter? Thanks Carl."
