Shifter locked up

Took boat out today. Ran good, shifted in all gears fine. After about 30 min of cruising around lake, I stopped ithe boat. I put boat in neutral and after a short stop put back into foward gear. Boat didn’t go into gear. I then put in neutral and back into foward, still nothing. Then tried reverse, it went it gear. Tried again to go to foward and shifter would not come out of reverse. It will not move on control box out of reverse. Any ideas?
Motor is a 1987 Mariner 115 hp outboard

First determine if it's the control box or the engine side. Disconnect shifter cables at engine. Try to see if cables move freely.
