ABSTRACT:
A shifting device for shifting a clutch of an engine transmission in a marine propulsion unit having an outdrive unit. The shifting device includes an actuator which is releasably connected at one end to a remotely positioned operator by a cable and releasably connected at the other end to a transmission lever on the propulsion unit for adjusting the lever in response to movement of the operator. The actuator includes a moveable member which is slidably supported in a guideway formed in the outdrive unit to minimize the force required to be exerted on the cable at its connection with the actuator, to improve the durability of the cable, and to facilitate assembly and maintenance work of the shifting device and propulsion unit.
