wards carefully.

19. Before connecting the shift cable be sure that if
the remote control moves forward, the shift cable ex-
tends from the cable housing, (i.e. cable pushes for
forward gear, pulls for reverse gear). Set the stern-
drive shift lever to horozontal making shure that it is in
the neutral detent position. Set the remote control
shift lever to neutral. Push the shift cable in as far as
possible. Using a fiber tip marker or suitable substi-
tute, mark the position of the cable at the cable hous-
ing (A). Pull the control cable as far out as possible.
Note the distance between the cable housing and the
marked postition on the cable. Push the cable into the
housing half the distance to the mark (A2). Install the
swivel onto the shift cable to the point it will attach to
the shift lever without moving the lever for attach-
ment. Install the washer and cotter pin. Bend the tabs
backwards onto the swivel.
