I was having a hard time shifting so I replaced the cables. I have a 1995 proline 201 with a 150hp johnson outboard. When replacing the cables I noticed that it very hard to move the connector bracket where I need to hook on my new cable. I think something is very wrong here, but do not know what it might be or where to start looking. I dont want to put the brand new cable on this and wreck it. I have the gas cable hooked up and the shifter one just laying in the boat, it works fine and free, the shift cable comes out and then the gas starts to move the carbs open. It has to be something to do with the shifter not the cable or the controll. Where should I start?.......thank you, (new at outboards)
