starting in neutral
 

I have a single 496 mag HO with the gaffrig controls. As of late I have to move the gear lever around to find neutral position in order to start the boat. It shifts fine in forward and reverse. Is there something I can adjust to solve the problem. Thanks!!!

There is a micro switch in the unit itself... they sometimes need adjustment... I had the same problem with a Kiekhafer unit... I finally removed them and put in micro switches with roller balls on the little trigger arm. solved the problem... :eureka:

Spoke to gaffrig support and they where not much help for solving the problem myself. They said I could send the shifter back and they would look at it.:(

After having a motor die and breaking a shift cable trying to get it back in to nuetral to start I disconnected mine. I always pull the lanyard so it will not start when we stop and anchor.

This might be a dumb question but is the neutral saftey switch easy to get to on the gaffrig controls. I have never pulled the controls out and looked.

Whats with that when the motor stalls and you need to get it back to Neutral ? Things need to be turning in the drive to shift EZ ?

Yes it is at least with mine. Mine has never been hooked up.

Yes, Bravo does not shift well at all without the motor running usually. ;) Could not even turn it over with gear shift not in nuetral. Windy close to shore and rocks. Was not fun. :eek:
