" I have a 83 stringer that ha
" I have a 83 stringer that has "lost"reverse. I can hear it trying to mesh,acts like it's not going far enough.I have adjusted the cable up top,and all that did,was enable it to start in forward gear.
My question is...is it posible for the lower cable to break (it seems to have a cable going to the shift fork)..and if so,is it hard to change,or does it sound like bigger problems,like gears. The gear oil does not have any metal to speak of.
I did not hit anything...it just wouldnt go in one day. Forward gear is fine,no noise,or vibration,even at full throttle.(I ran it a month with no reverse..no other problems)
This is hooked up to a 25-5' SeaRay,10'beam,so it's fairly heavy, w/350 chevy engine. Single drive.
Any info is a help,and will be appreciated.
