I'm in the process of rigging my cobia tower finally. I've started to gather most of the parts. I'm in the process of removing the existing binancle mercury control, and replacing with the Morse Twin S control. I've ran the new teleflex xtreme cables with the mercruiser connection kit on the engine side.
The shift assist (think that's what it's called, the spring loaded mechanism at the upper shift cable attachment on the engine) keeps throwing the control out of gear due to the springs pressure. My old control was extremely difficult to shift in and out and I thought it was due to the cables (going to do lower shift cable too once everything else is finished). Does the old control have more tension to keep it from allowing the shift assist to throw it out of gear? Do I get rid of the shift assist since I don't have the Mercury control, or does that work alongside the shift interrupt switch?
I'm heading back outside to work with it a little bit see if I can't figure it out. Maybe my adjustments are off? Figure I'd throw a post up, iboats members seem to have good knowledge all around. Thanks.
