shift

Does anyone know the mounting depth on the CH1700 series side mount shift control? Have a 88 sea ray s-24 and my control broke, put a used one from a same year model boat and it doesn’t work. So now I’m going for a new one all together.

Just got my 2003, 400 hr, 5.0 L, 21' Bowrider with power steering out for first time. Prior boats were 150 hp+ outboards with manual steering. Surprised that new steering is not as light as a car's. Also, there is about 3/4" center play measured on perimeter of steering wheel. Quickly got...

I have a 2002 260 SunDancer w/the 6.2 MPI Merc....the thumb depress button on the shift/throttle arm doesn't need to be depressed to shift into Fwd/Rvrs. And even when you do depress it, it doesnt do anything. It wouldnt bother me all that much if it wasnt making it very diffucult to shift...

Hi Gang - About a year ago I had the bellows and shift cable replaced on my Alpha One outdrive. The shift into forward now takes a longer travel to engage, and it slowly seems to be getting worse. The original mechanic is several hundred miles away, so I'd like to know if someone can recommend...
