Hello all,
I drove my 1977 34 over to the boat yard to have the bottom painted 2 weeks ago. On the short trip over I took on some salt water when I had a salt water line break. No Its time to put her back in the water and I find that my shift control is frozen up. I have not investigated my cables yet but I have a couple of questions: What kind of velvet drive do I have? What model # etc. In case I have to replace it. Does the motor need to be pulled out to replace? Can anybody give me advice as to where to start in checking this out? Thanks for any advice help you can offer. It's a Perkins t6.354
