Re: rds22 shipmaster control
The screws that hold the control box together are on the back side. The shift lever is on the front half of the box. There is a plastic furrel on both ends of the shift cable. Each furrel has a brass cross pin with a set screw in each end. These set screws lock the cable in place. Loosen both set screws on each end of the cable, and pull the cable off. To replace the cable at the control box end, feed the cable through the furrel, and through the brass cross pin until the cable is flush at the end of the furrel. Draw up the set screw until it makes contact with the cable, and give it one complete turn. This will put a kink in the cable, locking it in place. Draw the second screw up tight against the cable. At the engine end, there is a small round window in the furrel. Feed the cable through the furrel, and brass cross pin until the cable shows in this window. Lock the cable in place, just as before. The cable will come with the core wire cut to the proper length. By no means, cut this core wire. The control box is very simple to put back together.
