not always, but, when engine is started, boat is in reverse,(seldom). when boat is in neutral, put in reverse, no problems, when shifter is changed to forward, not in gear, I have to raise the trim almost all the way up for the forward gear to engage, lower trim back down, boat goes like stink, go to dock, if I have to put it in reverse no problem, but will not go back in forward gear unless I raise the trim all the up? very frustraiting, go to get gas at the marina and they think I'm an ass, can't control boat, lol.
