I have an early 16 ft. 140hp inboard/outboard Jolly Roger Boat. It has a Mercruiser out-drive and I am trying to connect the shift cable which was not hooked up. I bought the boat for near nothing price. I understand that someone changed the motors but didn't get the throttle/shift cables hooked up. I have had the motor started and it runs sweet. The only problem is it won't start in neutrol. It has to be in forward or reverse to start and throttle up. I figure I need to reach out and make sure I have it hooked up right? The shifter is a single throw T handle with a button under the handle. Any help would be very helpful. Thank-you.
