Greetings to all,
I'm looking for
advice or tips on the procedure for adjusting the throttle/gearshift setup on my
boat.
I have a
Yanmar 2qm15 diesel engine coupled to a
Hurth KBW10
gearbox and these are operated by two brand new 17ft long Morse C33
cables connected to a near new Morse MV2
Single Lever (side mounted)
Engine Control. However, since installing the new MV2 control and
cables I am having trouble getting the adjustments done right.
According to Yanmar's recommendations, the engine should be at
idle speed when either forward or reverse
gear are engaged, but I haven't yet been able to achieve that ideal situation. I've spent hours buggerising around with the various adjustment points on the engine,
gearbox, and cables, and now have it going into forward
gear at around 750rpm which is near idle speed, but when I slip it into reverse the engine jumps up to around 1500rpm. At this speed the gearbox gives a loud clunking
noise as the gear engages and I fear I might cause some internal damage.
It seems to me the problem is a design flaw caused by the amount travel the control lever actually has, because it begins opening the engine throttle well before a gear is fully engaged. Having reverse engaging at this faster speed makes the
boat more difficult to manouvre into it's jetty
mooring, particularly when I am alone.
So I'm hoping someone on the forum experienced with these morse controls can offer me some
advice, thanks.
bony.
