Re: remote install a tough job???
thanks, its a kicker on a pontoon Is there any shift-throttle-linkage adjustment or is it all preset?
No -- it is not all pre-set. Both throttle and shift cable adjustments will be required. This can be done just before you attach the cables to the engine. The short version of this procedures is:
1) Control box in neutral and fast idle lever (if equipped) down.
2) Shift linkage on engine in neutral
3) Throttle linkage on engine against the idle stop.
4) Bring shift cable end up to its linkage attachment point on the engine. If the cable and linkage are not in perfect alignment adjust the trunion (the threaded mount on the cable end) until they do. Then attach the cable to the linkage and trunion to the mount.
5) Repeat step 4 for the throttle linkage.
DO NOT push or pull anything to make the cables line up. If you do you will end up with improper throttle and or shift operation.
The cables will need to be long enough and routed such that the engine can swing right and left without stressing the cables. Better to be too long than too short.
