So I installed the standoff transmission mounted shift cable bracket and routed the cable the new way. Well have to order a new cable 8 feet shorter now. The way things are going, I am going to install the cable before I change the throw on the handle side as it could be wrong.

I’ll say. Had to been a good vibration. All held together by that cotter pin. Loose a prop at sea and someone stocked the wrong size spare, ok, I get that. But on purpose for daily use??? That’s some thinking there. In all fairness, it does case me to pause and think a bit at what I did to keep my old cars running as a kid with little or no money;-) |

Ugh.
Amazing the effort people make to do things wrong and be proud of it afterward

Well in this politically correct world, this thing was rigged. Prop must be 1 1/4" hub, as a 1 1/8" prop I had sitting around fits the shaft correctly. Someone had to make a special keyway to match the shaft and the prop. They used Teflon tape to take up some of the slack.

I am going to pull the prop tomorrow and see what is up. When I first looked I just noticed how close it was to the strut and not all of the spacers. The prop is maybe a sheet of paper from the strut.

Lee,
It looks like the PO used a prop with it's bore bigger than the shaft? Is the prop at least seated on the shaft taper or loose? How close is the prop hub to the strut?

How does this prop nut hot garbage work out? I bet this is not factory setup either.

You bet it does. You just ask for it. By the way, you misspelled "many"

Bill, I've done it may times too. Then the only problem is, it gives Ken another excuse to come after me with his criticism! |

SO the stand off L bracket came in today. I am going to mount it and look into changing the throw action of the handle this weekend. I will for sure have to get a much shorter cable.

I wouldn't be surprised if that live well batter was set up to be a house battery versus a starting battery.

Have you tried following the battery cables from the starter to wherever they may go?

Thanks, I will look better at it in the morning. If I go that route, I will need a new cable about 5 foot shorter.

If it's like this they used those controls in a lot of boats. It will just need the cable attachment to the throttle bellcrank and it's clamp moved to the opposite side of the control....
 Something like this-  |

Thanks. I will look at mine closer and see if it is the same. Top side looks different but bottom side might be the same. Might take a brain surgeon to sypher it.

Here's a manual for a dual lever shifter that may or may not be the same as yours since you didn't say what yours is  But ..........if you read it you can see that the shifter can be setup to push or pull with a little disassembly to get at things, then when you move the lever forward, the boat will go forward. Whatever make and model you have, it should have that capability. Once again.......good luck

Click on the link below for a Morse throttle/shift control manual It's for an MV-2, you could have an earlier MV-1 but the directions for changing the shifter action are basically the same thing. If you have some other control, then this is no help |
