The bf90 on my 17’ 03 Arima Sea Pace shifts way too hard. It is not the control box or the cables.
When the shift cable is disconnected at the motor everything is smooth as silk.
With the cable disconnected, it is impossible to rotate the shift shaft by hand. With the cable disconnected, the only way the shift shaft to move is to tap on the plate that the cable actuates with a hammer and a wooden drift. With the cable disconnected, the controls are easy and smooth. i.e. I'm pretty confident it is not the cables or the control box.
When everything is connected, it shifts fine into forward and reverse with no grinding and the throttle behaves as it should. It's just waaaaay to stiff.
Any ideas where the resistance is coming from? Boat is in the water now.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
