First off i am new to the forum and have been browsing around for the last several months and i must say this seems to be the best forum by far! The problem i am having is i am trying to adjust my lower shift cable and i have seen the threads around here and i have downloaded the pdf file for the proper adjustment. I don't know if i am missing something but when i pulled the lower shift cable out and pushed in while turning the prop counter clockwise to lock it in place the measurement from center of brass barrel to center of end guide came out to be 5 3/4 inches. When i adjusted it to the proper six inches the cable had to be pulled out of gear in order for it to line back up in place. I don't know if i am missing something or just completely stupid but if somebody could help walk me through it so i get it correct i would greatly appreciate the help. By the way it is on a 1986 Sea Ray Seville with the mercruiser 140 alpha one outdrive with morse cables and morse throttle control. Thanks for the help!!
