The shift cable pushes and pulls a lever on the engine. When you take the
cable of the engine you can manually shift it by pushing or pulling that
lever.

You can check it with a hose hooked up to the engine.

Thanks for the great info. How do I shift then engine manually? Can I
do this with the hose hooked up to my boat or must I put it in the
water?
