Johnson and Evinrude Gear Shift Rod Adjustment

Proper gear shift rod height is crucial for ensuring smooth and efficient operation of your Johnson and Evinrude outboard motor.

By accurately setting the gear shift rod height, you can help prevent costly repairs and ensure optimal performance from your engine. The following tables provide the recommended gear shift rod heights for a wide range of Johnson and Evinrude outboard models. Refer to the table corresponding to your specific engine to find the correct adjustment for your gear shift rod.
