Insert shift cable through opening at rear of hanger assembly in line with the
shift arm pivot attachment holes and lock cable anchor groove in the hanger
slot.
Screw pivot onto the cable rod, allowing threads to protrude through pivot 1/8
inch for standard travel, or 1/4 inch for long travel.
Lubricate pivot with lithium marine grease, then insert into required hole in shift
arm (See Figure 8). Fasten with cotter pin, Tighten cable nut against pivot.
To obtain standard (2-3/4 inch) cable shift travel at the engine, use shift arm on
control at short pivot hole location as shown in Figure 8.
For Mercury, long (3 inch) cable shift travel at the engine is necessary. Assemble
shift arm to control using longest pivot hole location.

Maximum thickness panel is 3/4
inches. Control will install more
easily in a 1/2 inch thick panel.
NOTICE
The pivot must be in the hole
nearest the cable entry end of
the control. Using the hole in the
shift arm farthest away from the
cable mounting support will pro-
duce unequal shift cable travel
between “neutral to forward”
and “neutral to reverse”, resulting
in impropper shift action.
CAUTION
!
The control shift lever and the
transmission shift lever must
coincide at the forward, neutral
and reverse positions. Different
makers of transmissions may
require different amounts of
shift travel. For this reason the
control shift lever is provided
with two (2) holes for attach-
ing the shift cable. One (1) for
standard travel and one for the
longest travel (see Figure 8).
