  • Remote Cable Adjustment

    :!: HELP,
    I installed 2 new drives on My Wellcraft 250 Nova XL, that was fun !
    I had to replace the boot that covers the lower shift cable so I did that while the drive was off. Now the drive will go into forward but I cannot get it to go into reverse. I have tried following the instruction in the SELOC manual but I have had no luck, I think im making things worse than better.
    Does anyone have any suggestion besides the obvious of taking to a shop?
    Thanks

    Here is a lnk to a good shift adjustment article: http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ul...;f=36;t=000029

    Did you change the cable as well, or just the boot? It is important for the cable to be screwed all the way into the bell housing.

    Is it possible that you assembled the upper and lower incorrectly? If the brass shift lever is oriented wrong it will cause your problem as well.

    Hope this helps. Feel free to call if you need more help.

        ok, Ive got the shifting part working. Here it comes.... BUT now the cutoff switch stays engaged, is there a certain number of twists or certain placement that needs to be? I just want to make sure that im not going to far with my moving of it.
        Thanks

          Is the switch staying engaged while the engine is running? You shouldn't try to mess with the switch unless the engine is running.

          If the engine is running, and the switch stays engaged in one direction only (forward or reverse) Then you can usually just move the adjustment the opposite way just a turn or two.
          Hope this helps,
