Can you ID this shifter?

I need to lube and perhaps replace the throttle/shift cables. I would like to get an idea of what I'm dealing with before I dissassemble the pedestal. Anyone know the manufaturer or have a drawing of what's in there? Boat is a Hunter 29.5 with a 2GM20F engine. Thanks

They are all pretty much the same. Remove the handle, pop off the cover and the mechanism will be there. Four screws hold the shifter to the pedestal.

At one time, there were Morse and Telex cables, now the cables have interchangeable end fittings, thus they are universal. Printed on the cable will be a series of numbers which specify the length.

The mechanism will look more or less like this:

The transmission cable will attach to one of the ears. The throttle cable will attach to the cam on back of the mechanism.

The most finicky part of the job is getting the transmission cable adjusted correctly. If the cable is not adjusted correctly the transmission may not fully shift into or out gear causing the clutch to slip and wear out or leaving the boat in gear when the shift lever is in neutral.

Thanks! That's a big help

I can’t help you identify the shifter itself, but I do have photos of when I replaced my 340 cables (3GM30F). You haven’t said what your shifter is doing to cause you to think you have to replace the cables. The hardest part of the process, routing the new cables through to the engine.
But when you do look in the pedestal, note the length of any loops in the cables. If they are very large it causes, throttle drift, which makes the handle not hold in position. Cable brakes can fix that if placed close to the throttle itself.
Here are a few photos of my throttle for you to see the workings inside there.

Thanks My shifter is working very hard. I hope lubing the works will improve the situation.
