Shift Control problem

[nelsontdi]

My approx 2006 Tango extreme has an aluminum colored pull out button on the shifter (not the cut off lanyard switch) Recently, I can not put the boat in gear with out pulling this button out manually each time. Any ideas on how to fix or what I'm doing wrong?

I think you're referring to the "warm-up button." (See red arrow)


If your control looks identical, I would suggest downloading the manual and checking your cable adjustments.

Thanks for the information. Yup that's it. I need to pull it out to shift into forward or reverse. maybe an adjustment? Any ideas. I looked at the manual (thanks for that) but cant figure out what exactly to do.

Two things I would suggest:
1) My control was very stiff and binding when I purchased the boat 3 years ago. I lubed the heck out of it with Boeshield T-9, especially where the handle shaft goes into the control. Then I unscrewed the assembly from the hull and did the backside too. This helped tremendously.
2) Adjust the throttle and shift cables according to the installation manual. http://www.motooff.ru/assets/files/...JetDrive_Instruktsiya_po_ustanovke_motora.pdf
That's all I got.

Hello, new to the Forum excited to be a member, Wondering if anyone knows the correct Throttle and Shift cable orientation on a 2003 Sugar sand extreme 240 hp? I believe its a Morse Mv shifter .
Thanks Dan
