"Hi I am unemployed and cannot currently afford the user or sercvice manuals, so thank you in advance for your help.
1) The engine runs nicely. Neutral and reverse engage properly, but forward does not. The lever seems to click into the foreward gear, but it seems to behave as neutral.
2) Although Reverse seems to work fine, anytime I put it in reverses and give it any throttle, the outboard kicks up out of the water. Isn't there supposed to be a pin or other locking device to hold the motor in position when using reverse? I see a long pin that can be removed and reinserted in one of fivesets of holes, but none of them would lock the engine down, they seem to be different trim angle adjustments, I would guess. Is there some feature on the engine that I just don't understand, or that may be broken or missing which would keep that puppy in the water when I engage reverse?!
Thank you in advance to any who can offer help with either of these questions - Mark in CA"
