Control side shifting and throttle connections 1970 45hp with pics

[chryslerburner]

Heres a pic of how I currently have my control side connections made.

Can anyone tell me if that is correct. Top cable is the flat bracket that controls
fwd and rev. Bottom is angled bracket that controls throttle. Fwd gear works and you can throttle the carb at same time like normal. Problem is reverse wont
engage. Throttle cable binds when trying to go into reverse.

If I remove the cables from controls they do both move freely when I have the nuetral lock out disengaged.

Any thoughts, pics might help.

Totally incorrect!

The box was designed to be mounted on either side of the boat. So, with the box in its mounted position:

With the control handle vertical, in neutral:

The lever (two holes) for the shift cable should be facing the bottom of the control box. The cable needs to go through the bottom retainer of the box and the rear hole in the lever. There should be a plate of some sort to cover both retainer recesses and hold in the cable in either one. The brass pivot is in upside down. It should be the same as the one in the pointed lever (throttle) The bend in the pointed lever provides clearance for it.

The throttle lever (the pointed one, one hole) needs to face forward. It is oriented correctly with the bend up so that the throttle cable passes over the shift lever when the box is actuated. The cable needs to clip into the pivot in the rear center of the box. You have the two screws but it looks like the cable retaining clip they hold is missing.

Thanks for the help Frank. I thought something was wrong. My brother took it off and didn't make a note as to which way they went back. I appreciate the help. Thanks Dan

Your picture was actually exactly what i was looking for but it seems to be missing, how difficult would it be for me to get a look at it ? Thanks in advance

I have pics of my 1970 Chrysler 35 HP?s Control?s positions (exterior), linkage at motor and linkage under motor if these pics will help. I have the pics related to Start/neutral, reverse and forward (reverse attached).

well i was going to try to find a single lever control, unless the consensus is that these motors are better equiped for a setup similar to yours, do you know where one would find that stuff online? thanks again for all your help

This has basically been my most experience with a boat. I had planned for this to be my starter or restore the boat. It has been all I needed for my 5-8 fishing trips yearly of 8 hours on the water since the early 80s.
