Mercruiser Compatible Bravo 1 2 3 x xr Shift Cable Adjust Adjustment Tool 91-12427T

Ordered for the boat mechanics to use in my shop. I was told it comes in handy.

This alignment tool is plenty sufficient for your needs. It worked on my 1996 5.7L Mercruiser with Bravo 3 drive. The first time I used it with the supplied instructions it got me exactly where the cables needed to be so no further adjustments were required after the initial install.The item I received is made of 7/32 acrylic and is laser cut on a CNC. Maybe the original tool is made of metal (for guys who own their own marine mechanic shops), but for the occasional use DIY’er it’s fine. Metal is not required for a simple alignment tool like this. For those who are complaining about the integrity… you’re not using it right if you are flexing it beyond it’s yield point. This item is used flat and never needs to be flexed.I’ve run a plastics machine shop for 20 plus years and I give this product two thumbs up!

Worked great on 3.0 mercruiser

A ruler will work too, but this tool made it easy.

It says cnc in title and picture show it black so I assumed it was aluminum or steel but it’s clear plastic. It still worked as it should and came with good instructions.

You really need to invest in one of these if you're replacing cables on a mercruiser outdrive or just needing to adjust them. This gets your cables into the right (and sometimes perfect) position requiring only a turn or two of the barrel nut on the cable to fine tune where it needs to be for optimal performance.

I had it, and a couple of other tools in my hand climbing into the boat, and it snapped at one of the notches. Cheap piece of crap acrylic. So I went into my shop, found a piece .050” aluminum, traced this out onto the aluminum and made my own.

I have a 4 year old boat with a Bravo 3 sterndrive. The shifter adjustments are complex so you need this tool to get it right
