Hey guys, whats the easiest way to get it into neutral without the controller (which i do have but its in pieces), i guess i just have to keep moving the shift lever until the prop spins freely both directions?? (without making a clicking noise either)
Might be a stupid question but of the two cables (bare with me as im new to boat mechanics), which one is the shift lever - top or bottom that comes directly off the motor?
Might be a stupid question? No... the only stupid one is that which is not asked.
The easiest way to get your engine into neutral is by removing the cowl and removing the shift cable. Pretty easy to do and reattach when needed too.
If you are doing so to remove the lower end, leave it in forward. If it's just to start it or whatever else, that's your best shot.
Buy yourself a manual and the money spent will be recovered many times over.
Thanks alot for the quick reply - much appreciated, this forum has a wealth of information.
Anyway, yip no problems should be able to remove the cable, not much to it really, also as i am just trying to get it running, im assuming it cant be started in gear? and yes i know about the neutral start switch which is meant to be housed in the controller (but as im not using mine that wont be an issue), but is there any other reason why it couldnt be started in gear?? (besides the fact the prop will be dangerously spinning)
Thanks again.
