[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 438300, member: 15636"] For the gear cable, IIRC my OMC OEM service manual for the controls has one (w/ OB end disconnected) put the control shift into FWD, then 1/2-way back to neutral. Then set the OB connection in place there. Adjust - if needed - to ensure positive shifting. For the throttle cable, I also recall you install it with the gear shift (by the remote control as set above) shifted into FWD. You should be able to spin the locking plastic tab (locked under the retainer bar at the OB end) to remove much of the slop. If you remove too much slop, it will increase your idle RPMs, but you then just back off a 1/2-turn or so. [/QUOTE]
