    Stiff shifting... Cable lube?

    I've taken apart the helm control for relocation purposes and figured I'd try to lube things up while in there. With the throttle and shift unhooked from the engine, it's still pretty stiff going through the ranges. Is there an effective way to lube the shift/throttle cables? And can one lube...

    Adjustable tach, what's right?

    Older OMC Tilt/trim guage not working.

    As stated, the tilt & trim work fine, but the guage always show 0. I have the book now, but doesn't mention anything about the guage in the tilt/trim section. It's (from indications here) the mid 80's sterndrive 800. Any pointers as to where the "sender" or whatever is located?
