What engine do you have?

Message-ID: <64B00EE9B7AA4D91A1796577FE661724@GaryPC> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" There's a little "L" bracket in the stainless tube which holds the cable (I only know of the throttle, as the shift seems to be OK, but I replaced the throttle). I seem to remember it is held by the screw near the top wooden support, but yours could be different. I'll look today. There is nothing at the lever end which should cause resistance. The levers are just pivoted on a shaft. You have to pull the top of the binnacle up to get the cable out, the plate is held by the three screw headed bolts. Once they are removed, you can get to the shaft which holds the lever, remove the little cotter pin (careful, it can get lost) and remove the lever. The cable end is a fork-like piece and is held by a little shaft with another cotter pin. It was pretty straight forward once I got the three screws (actually five, there are two on the side screwed into the stainless tube) out. You may have the same problem I did - the cable rusted from the inside and started to disintegrate - it eventually came apart and I had to hold it together with duct tape and some plastic spiral cable wrap until I could get a replacement. The inside cable was OK, but the outer sheathing came apart and when it could no longer hold the cable, there was nothing to push against.... fun!

I have just installed a new tome engine in my 30MK1 The shift cable is good condition. Disconnected from the shift lever, I get smooth action all the way threw the stroke. The shift lever on the tranny smooth as well, But when I hook them up it takes a lot of pressure to move? The old engine I just took out was a bit hard to shift as well? Me binnacle has a main post with the chain going to the steering under the cockpit. My fuel cable or my shift cable don't go through the main pedestal. My cables go through the Stainless steel post that mount to the floor, behind the center post. My cables are thicker than the red cables at the local boat store? And seem to be of better quality. I found on my cable written (10-75) and that's all? Can I use the red style to replace the. What holds the Cable sheath inside the SS tube? How do you replace it? I can see no mounting of the sheath? I only see the threaded end at the bottom of the shifter knob? Any help on this would be great. Has anybody had this problem? I need help. I have spent 4 evenings working on it moving it around trying to re-adjust it. I'm at my end?? Help... Thanks, Curtis 1981 C&C 30 MK1 (675)
