    Alpha 1 gen 2 shift cable adjustment

    This is from the manual which one would assume you add the 4 turns regardless which would move the lower more toward neutral NOTE:Some models may be equipped with a shift assist assembly.

    Alpha 1 gen 2 shift cable adjustment

    Ok so I have a question. In the mercruiser manual it says " After cable has been aligned, turn brass barrel 4 turns away from cable end guide " What is the purpose of this? Then it says.

    Mercruiser Alpha One Gen 2 Remote Control Shift Cable Output only 3-1/4"

    Not to question you Chris because it's no doubt that you are far more nolagable than I but I'm trying to wrap my head around this statement. Since lengthing the control cable pulls on the shift cable wouldn't that move closer too reverse? Just trying to wrap my head around it

    93 Alpha 1 gen 2 oil leak

    Ok I do understand lip seals and I understand more pressure less leak however what I don't understand is that it holds 10psi for several days then it dropped to 5psi and stayed there for over a week now granted on hot 100 degree days it would go up to 9-10 psi ... so I guess my next step is...
