"Mercruiser 233 shift or outdrive noise. Ratcheting into reverse and "grumbles" when in reverse
Hey Fellas,
I have a mercruiser 233 i/o and it shifts hard (that is it kind of thunks) into forward, and ratchets or grumbles hard, and you have to get the RPMs a little higher before it finally engages into reverse. When in reverse, it seems to grumble, and isnt smoothe. It isnt the engine, but I was hoping you could give me some other ideas of what it could be, and how much the different repairs and/or parts might cost.
I am thinking it is possibly just the shift cable needing adjustment, but if it is something worse, what might it be?
Thanks!"
