ABSTRACT:
A shifting system for an outboard drive unit comprised of a shift mechanism that is interposed between a remote operator and a controlled member associated with the transmission of the drive unit. An input cable having an inner wire and outer sheath interconnects the operator with the shift mechanism while an output cable of the same structure interconnects the shift mechanism with the controlled member. The shift mechanism includes a lever which has three inner wire connecting portions and which is pivotally mounted on a base that includes a pair of connecting portions for the outer cables. The connection points of the inner wires and outer cables are selectively changed to accommodate different types of transmission selectors and drive units with normal or reverse rotation propellers.
