Trojan Boat Forum

seeing as it it 12 sleeps till launch, I have decided to pull my port transmission and strip it down to cure it of its "walk" habit in neutral. Anyhow I think my linkage is not correct, has anyone got a pick of the shift linkage? And how it connects to to the cable or a diagram? Ok I have to get back to my hang over now First night at the club last night

This might help Dave

Try one of these

tried those before I posted, but thanks guys! What I am looking for is how the boat cables connect to the transmission, currently the inner cable is attached to the bell housing and the outer is connected to the shift lever on the tranny, this makes for a lot of slop and I cannot feel the detente ball click into place for neutral

I can snap a pic or two for ya Dave. Just gotta finish my lunch and I'll walk down and do that for you.

that would be very much appreciated! Thanks! As I speak one of my guys has headed to the club to start taking the tranny out, due to my snowplow business I have two mechanics on staff, one of which specialty is building transmissions, the other worked as a marine mechanic before he came with me, on that note another one of my guys used to restore wood boats, so seeing as my procrastination skills were at thier best this winter, the admiral has given the green light to put him in the boat to get it done.

did you get the pics?

I PM'd you.

Thanks! Pm recieved!

Dave, usually the detent is set up at the helm control. I would not solely rely feeling it from the tranny as component wear (cable, remote) will deminish the detent feel, and a detent at the remote gives a more positive engagement/disengagement feel IMO. The helm control should have a detent setting/adjustment. Set the control in neutral and the detent tention, set the tranny in neutral, then adjust the cable linkage at the tranny accordingly. Don't forget one or two additional turns to take up slack. If done right, the tranny and remote detents will engage at the same time. If you have two helms, the only detents that should be set up to operate is the lower station, the upper detents should be disconnected unless there are two sets of cables going to each tranny.

At least you got the info

so the tranny came out today and is being dissasembled as I write this. the pics I was emailed helped a ton with what I have to do to fix my linkage, I will keep all informed on how it goes

transmission is apart and the plates are fried, just got to get a list of parts together and see if Don can get them here quick enough

Might be nice to post those pics here for future ref.

If you need more, I can photo mine - been off this site for a few days.
