    stern shift cable adjustment

    When I disconnected the lower shift cable on my 1976 Sea ray, I pushed the cable all the way in and it locked in Foward, as it is supposed to. When I pull it all of the way out, it will spin freely and will not lock in reverse. Any suggestions, maybe the wrong cable? Thanks

    Trim/Tilt

    Engine overheats at high rpms

    I have plenty of hot water coming out of the exhaust ports on the stern drive, however I pulled the hoses off of the exhaust risers. One of them I can blow air through, the other I can not. Does this indicate it might be clogged? The engine runs between 180 and 200 when high rpms

    Engine overheats at high rpms

    I pulled the inlet hoses off of the exhaust risers. I can blow air through the left side, but I can not through the right. I believe that one of the risers is clogged, \rusted.

    Shift cable adjustment

    When the stern drive is in forward gear, the shift lever is supposed to be straight ahead 12 oclock, with neutral at 11 oclock and reverse at 10Oclock. That is the way the lower unit is, however with the lower unit removed, the upper shift lever in the upper housing will go from 1 oclock for...

    question regarding reverse

    I have a boat I purchased a few months ago, getting ready to put it in the water. I ran it with the hose attatched. When I put it in reverse, the propeller barely moved. Is it supposed to do that, or does reverse not work until it is in the water. New to boating

    Trim will not come up

    My stern drive trims down all of the way, but when you hit the trim up button, the motor just spins and the stern drive will not come up. The oil is full. Any ideas?

    Trim Cylinder

    I was doing some research, and my 1976 Sea Ray has the trim cylinders part number 98704-1 and it should be 45706A14. I believe a previous owner replaced the original cylinders with cylinders from a newer model. Will this cause problems with the pump? thanks
