Thanks for your assistance. There are no screws to loosen I have checked. i think I am going to have to take her out of the water to do the job. thanks for taking the time to reply to me it’s appreciated. Cheers Andy.

Hi I have recently purchased a 302, 2006 version. The previous owner recently installed a new Seastar throttle and gear shift. The gear shift is far too stiff. A friend of mine indicates to loosen the gear shift the boat is going to need to come out of the water. I am not sure that this is correct? The engines are twin Volvo Penta 5.7L V8 OSI petrol engines with outdrives. The question is can the gear level cables be slackened without removing the boat from the water? Many thanks for your help. Cheers Andy.
