"Good evening .
I have a Stuart Stevens 19ft river cabin cruiser with a Yamaha 25hp engine. The engine is not too old and is in very good condition but this weekend while travelling gently up the river I put the boat into reverse and unfortunately when trying to throttle forward afterwards the boat just revved and would not go into forward gear . After going very slowly up the river backwards I lifted the engine out and noticed a piece of plastic band ( like you get round a box of oranges ) wrapped tightly around, after cutting this off with a Stanley knife and taking the top off the engine for a look I kept trying to throttle forward . Occasionally It would kick in and work but then as soon as I put back into neutral and tried again it would not work . In reverse everything is fine .
Looking in the engine I cannot see anything broken but can only imagine that due to the strain around the propeller it has adjusted something which will not allow the engine to slip[ into gear .
Can you recommend anything .
Many thanks
