7. Check that the control lever and the shift lever of
the sterndrive both are in a neutral position. Remove
the locking nut for the shift yoke (11) and turn the
yoke on the thread of the shift rod (10) in a way that it
gives the retaining pawl rod (6) at the connection to
the shift lever such a position that it will touch (without
pressing against) the yoke of the retaining catch at
“A”.
Lock the yoke (11) with the locking nut in this posi-
tion.
NOTE! The retaining pawl rod (6) is not permitted to
have an axial play.
Install the locking nut and the swivel on the shift ca-
ble. Adjust the swivel (9) of the shift cable (7) so that
is easily will enter the hole on the shift plate.
Push the control lever to the forward position and
check that the corner “C” on the shift plate (8) does
not touch the housing.
Pull down the retaining pawl against the stop
shoulders on the bearing and remove the stop nut on
the thrust sleeve (2).
Adjust the sleeve with the retaining pawl still pulled
down so that the sleeve becomes level or maximum
0.5 mm (0.020") under the contour “B” of the yoke.
Lock the thrust sleeve and the counter nut with
locking compound, Volvo Penta part no. 1161053-2.
NOTE! Earlier the thrust sleeve was locked only with
the counter nut. However, from sterndrive serial no.
PZ 2813853 it is also locked with locking compound,
Volvo Penta part no. 1161053-2. Adjustment after-
wards is seldom necessary as the retaining pawl is
adjusted at the time of delivery.
Then push the sterndrive forwards against the adjust-
ing pin and check that the upper end of the push rod
(3) does not touch the thrust plate of the lift device.
The lifting device (1), when tilting, will disengage the
retaining pawl. The retaining in the adjusting pin of the
retaining pawl is checked by first pulling the sterndrive
backwards and then in the two outer positions.
Then check that the electromechanical lifting device
(1) when tilting the sterndrive will release the retaining
pawl from the adjusting pin. With the sterndrive fully
lowered and with the adjustment pin in the innermost
position there should be a safe clearance between the
thrust plate of the lifting device and the retaining pawl
push rod.
8. Check the retaining pawl clearance as follows:
Push the sterndrive forwards and hold the retaining
pawl in this position. Then push the sterndrive back-
wards and check that the retaining pawl does not hook
up on the adjustment pin.

9. Pull the sterndrive backwards so that the spring
catches of the retaining pawl engages the adjusting
pin.
a)
Check that the retaining pawl touches the under-
side of the adjusting pin. If it doesn’t probably
the counter nut of the thrust sleeve is incorrectly
adjusted or the push rod might be deformed.
b)
Check to make sure that there is a full overlap
between the shoulders of the locking yoke and
the stopping surface of the spring catches (5)
when the shift is in the reverse position.
c)
The clearance between the shoulders of the
locking yoke and the stop surface of the spring
catch in neutral position should be approx. 2 mm
(0.08") “F”.
