I needed to replace the original equipment control box since a plastic piece wore out and broke in the shift handle. This is on the Bayliner Capri 1950 with Volvo motor and outdrive and Morse 33C cables. These cables looked ok and I think PO replaced them at one point.
I purchased a Uflex single engine control model B133 and installed it today. Not bad directions overall. But I must have screwed something up because I have ignition working fine but it stays in Neutral, meaning no shifting of the transmission no matter if I move the control lever forward or backward. And there doesn't seem to be any way to orient the control lever so that it functions in warm up neutral mode? I couldn't get it to "pull out" like I would expect it to do for warm up only.
I used the configuration in the manual for Pull operation of the Throttle cable since the throttle cable is fully retracted when in the Neutral position and would need to be pulled to open the throttle up. This is working as it should on my test startup.
Directions indicate that correct shift control operation depends on precise adjustment of the shift gear travel? a small diagram in the manual but not clear to me anyway. There are two holes where the transmission cable can be attached: one for 78 mm of travel provided by the control unit and one for less than 78 mm of travel by the lever. Not sure if this is causing my problem or not? I HOOKED It UP ON 78 MM TRAVEL AS IT CAME IN THE PACKAGING.
So I get ignition in Neutral, no shifting forward or reverse, no Neutral warm up as its set up right now. Any suggestions of what to troubleshoot are appreciated. Last summer I had trouble with the old controller in that there was very little fine adjustment for throttle, as in docking maneuvering and the control felt "loose" generally, which led me to inspect and take apart this season and found the broken part inside. Therefore the new Uflex control.
Thanks.
