Man this video saved me money today!! My engine was turning on as normal but when I would shift, the boat wouldn’t move.i found that the nut came off and the rod had just disconnected from the little shift mechanism. I searched everywhere for a resolution then I found this jewel of a video. Much appreciated from Saint Augustine, FL, USA.

Hi. It should be roughly the same. Only thing that can differ is the way it’s fixed to the controls and motor but it should still be a similar install. Just remember to have the controller leaver in the internal position before connecting to the motor.

a great tutorial thanks, BUT WAIT, I HAVE A PROBLEM TO SOLVE and am looking for feedback. when I am in the water and I trow it into forward will bog down and in many cases stall. when I'm real gentle and slow I can get it to go forward and it runs great once it is moving. when it is out of the water all controls work great. Can it be a bad adjustment in the cables. they don't seem to be constricted.

@mvboutdoors Жыл бұрын
When setting up the cable length for the shift cable, wouldn't you want the selector in the N position? (like how it shows in your thumbnail) I noticed you had it all the way back when installing the cable -- Did you have the control box set to reverse? I'm going to be replacing cables this weekend and I assumed I would keep the cables in the neutral position for cable installation. Excellent video explaining how the connections work, exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for this I just brought me a boat and it doesn't have the throttle lever and cables either just one question where did you buy the cables and do you know where I can find a lever for it
@FishingAdventuresHB 4 жыл бұрын
I got the cables from Hawke’s bay marine. They had to order them from America though for my motor. The other place you can try would be firmance marine or boating outdoors depending on the make of motor you have.

@FishingAdventuresHB 6 жыл бұрын
All good mate I appreciate your comment. The concept should be the same there might just be a few minor differences with your Motor but it should still have 1 a throttle leaver and 2 a gear selector leaver on the motor. If your motor has the steering arm and throttle on the motor and not a proper steering wheel and controll box it will be a little more comlecated than just replacing cables.

Very educational. Looks like it’s a Mercury EFI 200 hp. I have a 200 hp 1994 Pro Max EFI and my throttle is not holding constant rev. It slowly reduces it unless I keep my hand on the shifter. Any idea what could be the issue? Many thanks Jonas from the US.

Hi. mine was doing the same thing. on top of the controls mine has a round dial that is used to tighten or lossen the throttle leaver. you will have to play around with that to het the sensitivity adjusted to your needs.

@@tjsutton5757 Probably not because where will the access cable go? You could leave it coiled up somewhere as long as it doesn't have sharp bends in it but it would wear a lot faster and be a lot harder to push the control leaver into gear because of the extra friction.

MPC007_EXP nope many different varieties they mostly work in the same basic way but might look a bit different or have a different way of attaching. You’ll have to take your motors make and model to a dealer in order to get the correct one for your setup.

You have to make sure Gear selector arm on motor is in the neutral position and your control is in neutral position. then install cable and adjust length to fit. Also ensure that you haven’t mixed the position of the throttle and shifter cables up on the controls
