Before I get into that I installed my Keel Guard today. Says 30 minutes
installation, try more like 3 hour! http://home.comcast.net/~ree-yees/guard1.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~ree-yees/guard2.jpg Now to my problem that I have asked about before. The boat rarely will go into reverse. I looked in my monster Alpha One manual and foun the section on the shift cable and kill switch. I put the throttle all the way forward and itmakes the kill switch activate and then goes to the middle of it so that it is not killed. When I put the throttle all the way into the reverse it stays in the killed position. The manual says to adjust the cable, etc, so I do this. Now when I put it in reverse it goes into reverse but when I put it in forward it stays killed! Crapo. The book doesnt say what to do in this instance. I would assume that I will have to adjust the forward cable and the reverse cable untill I find some magic balance between the two? As a last effort for the day I unhooked the kill switch. I put the boat into forward without problems and I put the boat into reverse without problems. What would be the downside to leaving the kill switch off? How long should I leave the boat in idle before changing directions when not using a kill switch? Obviously you wouldnt want to do a continuous motion from forward to reverse or you would tear it up good! Thanks, --C |
