DETERMINING INPUT CABLE LENGTH
1. Measure the distance from the remote control where the cables leave the housing, to
the power shift cylinder where the vacuum hose attaches; make the cable bends of a
12 in. (305 mm) radius or larger.
2. Select the input cable length. Use the next full foot longer cable than the measurement
taken.
EXAMPLE: Measured distance = 16 ft. 3 in. (4.96 m). Use a 17 ft. (5.18 m) cable.
DETERMINING OUTPUT CABLE LENGTH
1. Measure distance from power shift cylinder where the vacuum hose attaches to the shift
plate, following the path that the cable will travel. Keep bends to a minimum with a 12
in. (305 mm) or larger radius.
2. Select the output cable length. Use the next full foot longer cable than the measurement.
EXAMPLE: Measured distance = 16 ft. 3 in. (4.96 m). Use a 17 ft. (5.18 m) cable.
IMPORTANT: For the power shift unit to work properly, there must be a bend in the
output cable. Mount the power shift cylinder at 90_-180_ to the shift plate. DO NOT
mount the cylinder in line with the shift plate.
IF RELOCATING THE POWER SHIFT CYLINDER
1. Select a location above the height of the intake manifold to mount the power shift cylin-
der in the boat.
• The location must not allow sharp bends in the cable.
• Bends must form not less than a 12 in. (305 mm) radius.
• The location must place the power shift cylinder within a distance (measured along
the cable path) of not less than 3 ft. (9.14 m) nor more than 6 ft. (1.8 mm) from the
shift plate.
2. Position drilling template (90-36274) and drill holes. Temporarily mount the power shift
cylinder in the selected location, reusing the lag screws or bolts. Fill and seal the mount-
ing holes in the former location.
