Hello all;
Boat is a '74 Starcraft Chieftain with MC-1 drive, Ser. #3647773 and the GM 250 I6.
It's my first boat, and I don't know a lot of the history. I believe the inside of the boat, dash etc. was all rebuilt sometime since '74. It needs replacing again... but that's another subject!
At any rate, I've had the boat in the water twice now, and I have been reading through some posts from Ziggy, and some others.
I'm not sure my shifter is the original, or that it is correct for an MC-1.
There are two distinct, different clicks/detents felt as you move the throttle through it's full travel. I thought there should be only one?
Also, The throttle probably has over 95 degrees of travel, all the way up till it hits the dash, and all the way down past vertical. I think this is way too much?
I'm going to work on adjusting the shifter cable today, as per this forum.
I have the Seloc manual, but not the Merc manuals yet.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
