Adjusting Shift Cables on Mercruiser 170

[stuffer]

Is there a step by step instructional sheet available to adjust the shift cables on a Mercruiser 170? They must have gotten out of alignment because I am really having a rought time getting it into neutural. I have lubed all the pivot points and the cables seem to glide smooth enough.

Don't know about here - I think there's a posting on iboats.com that addresses this, although likely not for your boat specifically.
