I getting my Islander ready for it's first outing and was screwing around with my shifter.
I always found it a bit hard to move and thought maybe the cable was binding. I had the engine out last year for the coupler and
thought I might not have set them up properly. I knew the bottom cable was fine but I never really check the shifter to engine cable.
So all looks good redid the adjustment and was moving the shifter while looking at it on the engine and noticed the kill switch
cam doesn't move as it's supposed to. It should momentarily move when going for forward to neutral and reverse to neutral.
Now the $20 question is, does it only move correctly when the engine is running or it should engine off?
I don't feel like screwing with it once I get it the water, but If I have to.......
Here's a video my son shot while I was operating the shifter.
