Hello,
I have a 1997 BE115GLEVA
I've had the motor for about 2 months now. Runs good, but I've noticed that the shift linkage is off. When I go into reverse, then back into neutral (on the controls), the motor stays into reverse until I go like 1/2 inch into forward, then it kicks into Neutral. Likewise, when in forward and backing off, it goes into neutral JUST before the remote "clicks" into neutral. It's 100% consistent, which tells me that the shift cable just needs some adjusting; I just need it adjusted 1/2-1" or so and it will be perfect; right in neutral when the remote is in neutral. I've been putting up with it for now, it works perfectly, but it's getting a little annoying now.
I own the OMC shop manual, but there is no mention at all in the entire thing about adjusting the actual shift cable. Can you guys help me out on this one?
Thanks!
