Abstract
An actuation system for a gear selector of a marine propulsion device incorporates an adjustable motion directing component that changes the path of travel of an actuator end of a push-pull cable. This adjustable change creates a beneficial effect by changing the relative positions of a shift shaft and associated link arms in relation to positions of a wire within a sheath of a push-pull cable.
