My old engine was a Yanmar 2gm. " The shiftier was stiff on this engine as well" I installed the new 2GM20F and the same problem " Stiff shiftier"
My shift cable is in the Stainless steal 1/2" leg and not inside the binnacle. Thanks for your help I'm not sure which cable to buy? The red cable or find a black one like is in the boat now? The one in the boat is more heave duty.
