Ok, last night a fellow board member was trying to explain to me how to adjust the shifter. Because I score zero on compency tests, I didn't understand what he was trying to tell me. Anybody else want to try their luck? This on a new installation that's never been adjusted.

I had heard that there was a tool to use for adjusting the shifter. Unfortinatly, I didn't realize that the drive had to be off. Actually the engine is going to be fire tomorrow and hopefully it'll be on the water by mid week.
Is there a way that I can adjust it so that I could launch the boat, putter around in the bay and maybe try to get on plane? No hard runs yet. I could then go up to the dealer for a final adjustment during the week.
Formula-thanks for the offer! That's really great of you, but as you can see I have constrainst that won't make it feasible.
Sure do appreciate the offer!

Thanks for the offer! Do I need to have the engine running before I call? My hope is to have it running on Saturday. Hope that'll be OK.
