PRM 125 Morse control cable installation
It is highly important the Morse control cable and lever installation is performed
correctly, otherwise this may well lead to the early failure of your gearbox, which
would not be covered by warranty.
Ensure the cable that operates the selector lever allows the lever to travel fully to the
stops in the forward and reverse positions at all times, we would recommend that
you use the inside hole on the lever to ensure the lever fully engages and keep the
gearbox firmly in gear.
Laying-up procedure for Canal Boat Marine Engines
Where an engine is to be standing idle for periods of over 6 months consideration
should be taken to minimise the deterioration of components.
The engine should be stored in a clean, dry environment, which is free from frost and
damp. It is best stored in its delivered state from Engines Plus Ltd.
If the engine is to be installed and not used, it is best that the engine is not run prior
to its lay-up. The vessel containing the engine should be stored in a dry, frost free
environment.
When storage for above 6 months is necessary, then the engine should be inhibited.
Failure to do so could promote corrosion internally. Contact Engines Plus Ltd for more
details.
The lever has a section of over
throw that the lever should sit
in when the gear is selected.
The adjustment should be
regularly checked as cables
can stretch.
