I would not recommend removing the switch, there would be risk of damaging
the gears. Just keep working with the adjustments, you'll get it right.

Hey all, last summer we had to replace the shift cable to the outdrive on
a
188 hp mercruiser. since then everytime you shift into reverse the kill
switch does its job and kills the engine. I have followed the service
manual
to the letter and still cannot get the kill switch to behave properly. My
question is can I take the kill switch off the boat and run without it.

Thanks
Steve
