If you remove the wooden bungs and clean out the hole with a drill bit, use a strong flashlight to see the head better. Clean the hole with a handheld drill bit, so you don't gouge the screw head. The bungs on my handrails were 3/8". The heads on mine are Phillips and the machine screws are

As Charlie points out, just about any hydraulics shop (and most farm implement, forklift, or construction machinery dealers) can rebuild a Navtec backstay adjuster. And based on 22 years in the forklift business, $260 would be at the high end of what I would estimate for the cost, depending on y

The shifter cable is a simple device. It's the same as a bicycle brake cable. It's a solid wire that is run down a outer tube. Each end of the tube is secured in position and the wire slides inside. Move one end of the wire and the opposite end moves the same. If everything is good at the T

Inside the tube is a clamp that holds the cable shroud in place. When your cable gets old and you have to muscle the shift lever to get the boat to go in gear, the clamp can break. Trouble is, Edson no longer makes the clamp. So gently remove it and have a machine shop make you a new one. Ma

Hi Jeff, yes I was able to move the cable by hand, the two end points of cable travel for some reason changed suddenly.. The cable losted its ability to move the transmission into different gears all of sudden at the end of last season. Bo On Sat, Apr 17, 2021 at 3:19 PM Jeff Helsdingen via CnC-L

First thing I would do is disconnect the cable from the transmission and see how things work. Does that free up the cable? Is the lever difficult to move by itself? Then move forward. On Sat., Apr. 17, 2021, 1:37 p.m. General Gao via CnC-List, < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I am continuing wit

At the transmission, you should be able to locate the shifter lever and move it by hand. This will also move the lever at the wheel pedestal. I would move the transmission lever to neutral, forward and reverse positions and check that the pedestal lever positions agree. Chuck S > On
