That is way too much pressure, and a cable will probably solve the problem. One way to tell for sure is to go down into the bilge and move the lever by hand. It really isn't that hard, and in fact, when I had an issue with the part at the wheel that broke, I got down into the starboard locker on our 27 MKIII and flipped it back & forth by hand.By checking it there, at least you've eliminated one of the potential causes.Just my $.02 worth,Bruce Sent from Samsung tablet. -------- Original message --------From: "Ronald B.

Haven't been to the boat in a while, and not taken the rod out, but I thought it had a groove cut in the end, about a half inch from the end or so, with an o-ring placed in it.Next time to the boat, I'll try to remember to take a look. Didn't cost much to make it.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL On Wednesday, April 8, 2020, 11:35:31 AM CDT, Paul Hood via CnC-List <[email protected]> wrote: Not those Joel. Of course the only original one I have is the throttle,starboard side. Don't know what the gear shift is suppose to look like. Itappears the handle you show rotates back and forward. On mine, it actuallyslides up/down in a slot, same action as the throttle. Right now I have a1/2" bolt, tapered the threads slightly and slid it in the hole, cut thehead off the bolt and slid the bilge handle over the bolt for leverage. Itwas meant to be temporary...been a few year now. BTW, the engine is atomic4 with reduction drive. I'll get better pictures this weekend.Paul Hood'81 C&C34Georgian BayMessage: 1Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2020 11:42:49 -0400From: Joel Aronson <[email protected]>To: cnc-list <[email protected]>Subject: Re: Stus-List Pedestal gear shift handleMessage-ID: <cael16p9d6drwxhqqbxgcfxfzyrsgwzqxuhfbzpgvujvtog4...@mail.gmail.com>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"This? http://www.marinepartdepot.com/stthha.html
