    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.

    Alpha One Shifting Problem

    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.

    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.

    Hi Jack, the 3/8 measurement was how much play there is in the lower shift cable. I assume it would tell me it's not too badly stretched. I'll try to make the adjustments at full throttle and not first gear and let you know. As well as moving the bracket to the middle slot. Marc Utah
