Hi Josh,
I just want to let you know that, I questioned myself when I was thinking
exactly your theory, but today I confirmed it that it is exactly as you
described. I really could not find anything inside the pedestal, but the
conduit did slide in the clamps. The clamps were loose, I imagine it
It looks like the "cable conduit" is held to a stabilizing beam with hose
clamps. Am I seeing that correctly? If the conduit has NOT slid in those
hose clamps then you're probably not going to find any luck inside the
pedestal. On the other hand if the conduit has slid in the hose clamps you
Thx John. My engine is a Universal diesel M30; the pedestal is a Edson,
probably a very old model from the 1970s.
I am planning to take the top of the pedestal apart today and see if I can
find anything there.
Thx.

HI Bo
What model pedestal and engine and tranny? If your tranny is a cone design, it
is critical to get full throw at the tranny shift lever or there will be
slippage
The outer sheath is (should be) clamped on both ends so does not move. I see a
hole in your pedestal tube. Is that for

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

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.
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.

Hi Chuck, yes I have done that, the transmission side was fine; it happened
last season just before the boat was moved into position for hull-out, the
control lever all of sudden lost its ability to properly move the
transmission side lever into the correct position.

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.

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.
