I have a question I hope someone can answer
My shift lever when you push forward actually is in reverse and vice versa ,it is a single cable so how do I fix.It runs great in reverse but falls on its face in forward maybe because it's not supposed to go fast in reverse? Please help

your cable is connected wrong to the control

Ayuh,...... Welcome Aboard,..... Usually there's another set of holes in the controller that moves the cable in the opposite directions,....
