I am rigging a 1968 6 hp Johnson onto a 1955 Alumacraft for my grandkids. (I'm hoping 6 hp will limit the trouble they can get into.) The boat is rigged with remote steering and controls that were set up for a previous 20 Johnson motor of similar vintage, i.e. it has the old shift and throttle lever system. The throttle is easily setup; however, the shift lever cable needs to be offset at the motor in order to shift smoothly. I have seen a motor of similar vintage with an offset that accomplished this objective very well, but have not been able to find one on the web or elsewhere. Any suggestioins?
