Replacement Morse control .

So i got lucky and got my hands on an excellent condition, like for like, replacement control head. Phew.

However no, like for like, manual to go with it. The closest i can find is the manual for the MV-2.

The question is, should the engine be in gear at first detente or not? And if so, mine is, how to adjust it?

All help, as always, very much appreciated.
 
Engine is in gear at first detent, assuming you mean, after the top detent when vertical. When the gearbox control cable lever is disconnected via the pull out button, then at the first detent the engine is not in gear. I have just verified this on my spare Morse unit, at home. By the way, this is the case, when gearbox control is inhibited, in forward or reverse detent positions.

Thanks for that. Just to be clear, i mean at the detente where the lever is at approx 30 degrees from vertical. And, on mine, has just gone into gear. Is that the same on yours?

Yes, it’s the same, with the gearbox disengagement button pressed in, mine goes straight into gear, at 30 degrees from vertical, the first detent position. The engine is at tick over, at first detent.

Thank you. I really appreciate your time and effort spent on my behalf. It has really helped. I can now move on to sorting out other things.
 
@IanCC with the button pulled out does the gearbox disengage, or are you experiencing the gear box engaged if the button is in or out, when you move to first detect?

Button out = out of gear.

Okay, sounds like it is set up correctly. A word of caution. It is possible to connect the gearbox cable such that forward is reverse and reverse is forward, so test when along side and secure to make sure. I have been on a boat where, post service, this got reversed and was only discovered when we went to reverse out.

I left the old internal levers in place as it was like for like. I have done a few hours with it since but wasn't sure it was set up 'bang on' or if it ever had been.

I don't know what you mean. I understand it is for me to set it up. I presume going into gear just before revs increase ie 30 degree detente.

I can't see how you set it up in gear with throttle closed, i presume you mean neutral, tdc in my case.

Thanks for input.

no you have make sure to utilise lost motion device in the control to ensure revs are not increased before gear is engaged

Yes, ok. I get that. But if say it is slightly out, 5mm of cable travel as an example, i don't see how to adjust it.
