ok you lower cable needs adjustment. and heres how.
help center omc
You need nominal neutral adjustment
There is a ton of info all those links are spot on, and i couldn't write it better myself.
Doo the adjustment quick like. Or your gonna be asking for more links on like gears and dogs.
May i ask a few questions?
You had the drive apart for a impeller change?
The water pump shafts splines look good? Greased good with spline grease ?
You ever have the ball gear main shaft out and looked at the splines that enter the coupler?
It's a one piece coupler. Not the rubber inner core one.
I'm asking for a reason. I don't want the splines to go on the coupler like it did for me and left me stranded.
The water pump shafts also went on me and left me stranded a few weeks after the coupler splines went.
Just asking don't get pissed at me i don't want you guys stranded is all.
I just replied to someone on how to get to the main ball shaft to remove, without pulling the cable. I can copy and pase here or you can go back a few threads and read it
