    Alpha One Gen One Shift Cable Binding

    I’m not really sure what I haven’t answered. I mean no disrespect but I already answered everything you suggested before you asked. Had you read all of my posts you would’ve seen that 99% of what you asked I already covered. Sorry for not repeating myself. In post 6 I noted that the washers are...

    Alpha One Gen One Shift Cable Binding

    As I’ve said I have dropped it close to 30 times trying to get it right. Just in the last two weeks. I also work full time and raising a 16 month old. And the rubber ring and bushing I’m referring to is number 50 and 51 in that picture UNDER the stainless washer and is most definitely there, I...

    Alpha One Gen One Shift Cable Binding

    Yes it goes through all the gears with the lower off. Turn the shaft clockwise for forward, prop locks counterclockwise. Prop free spins in neutral. Spin the spline shaft counter clockwise for reverse, prop locks clockwise. Prop stays locked in forward with everything tightened up, until I move...

    Alpha One Gen One Shift Cable Binding

    I’m very confident it’s completely in forward. It’s locked in forward when I tighten everything up. Go up to the lever at the helm and as soon as you pull back into neutral it’s goes to neutral then won’t find forward or reverse after that.

    Alpha One Gen One Shift Cable Binding

    I only dropped the lower unit to replace the impeller. Everything was shifting good prior to this. And correct, there is not any clearance/play between the brass foot and shoe.

    Alpha One Gen One Shift Cable Binding

    I understand it should be flat, it’s just not making sense to me what could be causing the shift cable to get it a bind, why it’s getting that pressure on the brass shoe. Too thick of a washer makes perfect sense, but when it was working perfectly fine before with the old washer which in theory...

    Alpha One Gen One Shift Cable Binding

    I’ll give a new washer a shot, with the old washer being cone shaped, would that not have given the brass shift foot the room it needed to move freely? Or would that washer being that shape itself put it into a bind?

    Alpha One Gen One Shift Cable Binding

    That is what I’m leaning towards is the shift arm is bent but didn’t wanna rush and start tearing in to the upper too if there was the possibility of something else being the issue. The bushing and little rubber ring under the metal washer all seems to be intact and in good shape. I can stop and...

    Alpha One Gen One Shift Cable Binding

    Yes, not all of them were the same, I can get a pic in the next day or two once I drop it down again to show you. I chose the one I did because it was much thinner than the others. This boats been through several owners in its time and there’s several nuts bolts etc that’s been replaced and not...

    Alpha One Gen One Shift Cable Binding

    I am not sure of the thickness off the top of my head. It was one that was on one of the lower unit studs on the sides of the outdrive. I know it was the same or very close to the same as the original. I had the same results with both the old and new washer. The old washer was a bit cone shaped...

    Alpha One Gen One Shift Cable Binding

    I have an ‘87 four winns liberator with a 454 and alpha one gen one outdrive. To start off I have replaced the engine in the boat myself along with many many other things and have replaced the impeller a couple times in the 4+ years I’ve owned the boat. After first start up this year I noticed...
