Abstract
An improved control mechanism for a marine transmission that provides an effective shift control by forming a crank arm at the lower end of the shift rod which lies below a cylindrical bearing portion. These parts are passed through a key hole shaped opening in the lower unit so that when fully assembled, the bearing portion of the shift rod will be journaled in the cylindrical portion of the key hole shaped slot so as to provide a good bearing arrangement.
