11. Check the intermediate shift cable routing from the transom assembly to the shift plate
as follows:
a. The cable should come through the transom, above the exhaust pipe and make a
turn toward the starboard side of the boat between the exhaust pipe and the engine
flywheel housing.
b. The cable should then be routed under the starboard rear engine mount and turn
toward the transom.
c. The cable should then go up behind the power steering valve and loop over to the
shift plate on the engine, where it is connected to the anchor points on the shift plate.
Following this routing will prevent the engine coupler from damaging the cable.

NOTE: A final check of the adjustments should be made with the boat in the water and
engine running. If this cannot be done or is not done at your manufacturing facility,
arrangement should be made with the dealer to do this as part of the pre-delivery inspection.
