TILLER SHIFT CABLE ASSY
SUZUKI STARTING 2009
2039
1. Remove the lower plastic cover from the steering handle.
2. Remove the shift cable
3. Install the 4 1/2 ft. standard 33C cable, using the cable end 2036.
4. Attach the lower end of the cable to the jet drive with the ball rod end threaded on the cable as
far as it will go and the cable anchor bracket centered and locked. Twist the cable in the U-clamp
so that the cable rests against the motor cowling and tighten the clamp screws. The clamp base is
slotted to allow alignment for minimum cable bending.
5. Place the shift handle in forward, solidly in the detent. The reverse gate cam roller must be at the
end of the slot in the cam. If these conditions are not met, slide the cable anchor bracket on the jet
drive and/or adjust the threaded rod end on the cable.
6. Shift to reverse and back to forward. Do not be concerned if the gate does not reach reverse.
There is clearance at this position and water pressure will close the gate.
7. In forward, with the roller at the end of the cam slot, the gate cannot be forcibly rotated toward
reverse. Pull on the gate by hand to verify this.
8. Lock the nuts on the cable against the rod ends to complete the adjustment and reassemble the
lower cover of the steering arm.
CAUTION: YOU MUST RETURN THE THROTTLE TO IDLE BEFORE SHIFTING.
