Step 1: SHIFT ROD ADJUSTMENT
Check the shift rod height from the shift rod hole to the surface of the gearcase using Universal Shift Rod Height Gauge, P/N 389997.
With the gearcase in NEUTRAL , rotate the shift rod up or down as necessary for correct adjustment. Once correct height is achieved, rotate rod one half turn or less to direct offset forward.
IMPORTANT: The NEUTRAL detent is a two step design. Make sure the NEUTRAL detent ball is in the center step before checking shift rod height.
Step 2: Shift Rod Heights
| Model | Type | Height |
|---|---|---|
| 20 in. (L) | “S” | 21.25 in. ± One-Half Turn |
| 25 in. (X) | “O” | 26.25 in. ± One-Half Turn |
