    Alpha One Shifting Problem

    I've checked the differential b/t forward and reverse on the control cable. It is 3 1/8". That is supposed to be spec.

    Hi Kirk, that's what's happening. I'm able to lock the prop via the controls, engine off. Start her up, with muffs and no engagement. Thanks again for responding. Marc

    Definition of Expert: "Ex" is a has been, and "Spert" is a drip under pressure. I'll get my "salvation" from better sources. Thanks for the entertainment.

    Proper tools were used and tolerances observed. I didn't post to this forum to be told "call a mechanic". I can do that on my own.

    Put a new shift cable on. She engages the prop with engine off. Engine on, no engagement. Place in water???

    Alpha One Shifting Problem

    Hey Kirk, I replaced the shift cable, hernia'd the outdrive back on and adjusted the cables. She goes into gear with engine off. Will not with engine running. I've heard to put it in water.???

    Alpha One Shifting Problem

    Waterski term from years ago. Just means a skier will want you to throw it forward, drag them a bit and you wait for the " hit it" signal. Just means put it in gear..no gas.

    Alpha One Shifting Problem

    Still having issues. I lubricated the shift cable and I'm feeling a little catch in it preventing it from going into first gear. I've got the outdrive off and am going to change the cable.

    Alpha One Shifting Problem

    It's engaging engine off. Engine on....no engagement. Using muffs...boat in water? Port engine engages/disengages with muffs. Starboard used to.

    Alpha One Shifting Problem

    I am. I've lubricated it and on occasion in my adjustments, it has triggered and killed the motor. I was thinking the same as you. I'll play with it some more tomorrow and let you know the RPMs I'm seeing. Thanks!
