2024年1月21日 · Anyone who has installed these cables into the shift housing knows it is a bit tricky at first to wind the metal cable puck ends into the pulleys. The OMC Stern Drive Service Manual for 400-800 series, page 7-1-22,23 emphasizes the need to have the forward cable "dimension A" starting at 9-15/16 inches before placing the housing unit onto the rack.

2009年5月14日 · I recently installed a new shift cable in my 1989 Donzi with an OMC Cobra stern drive. I followed all the instructions in Stuart's fabulous directions that I found on this forum. In the directions the OMC maintenance guide said that the distance between the end of the cable crimp and the shift cable guide eyelet needs to be 7 5/8" (+/- 1/32").

2014年3月8日 · You need a smooth cable, clean and lubed bellcrank, equal shift throw in foward and reverse, a functioning ESA system to let you shift to neutral, and an engine in good enough tune not to stall when the ESA drops the idle down to 450 rpm for a …

2012年3月30日 · Re: omc 400 shift cable you might want to look for a 1979-1981 lower. With the full mech drives, you will have trouble shifting out of gear. OMC introduced a system called ESA (Electronic Shift Assist) to aid in shifting on boats equipped with full mechanical lowers.

2007年10月29日 · Twin 4.3 OMC with cobra drives I broke the shift cable which engages reverse and forward between the motor and the out drive on the port motor. Removed the out drive and discovered the outer sheath right at the brass slider where the shift cable guide slides on was broken. Unscrewed the brass...

I took a closer look at the shift cable sleeve inside the boat behind the engine and confirmed the sleeve is pinched to about half the normal inside diameter, pinched between the lower part of the exhaust pipe and the engine flywheel housing.

2009年8月14日 · Re: OMC Cobra shift cable adjustment manual? 1: The drive HAS to come off 2: You can't "play" with the shift adjustment. Do it the way it's written in the manual. 3: The cable can't have more than 2.5lbs of pull. Use a fish scale. If it does, it'll bind, and won't shift properly....and most importantly:

2005年3月6日 · Re: OMC shift cable ? The ESA system does absolutly nothing to do with puting the drive in gear. That is cable adjustment alone. The ONLY time the ESA system even comes into use is when there is a load (from being in the water) …

The engine idle needs to be as low as possible for it to shift easily (like 550 rpm in the water in gear). The area behind the pivot housing bellcrank needs to be cleaned out and packed with OMC triple guard grease to prevent sticky shifting.
