So, recently the throttle will not engage reverse. When I try to put the boat in reverse it just clicks until the motor revs. Forward still works like normal. I have had the boat for 10 years now and it has always clicked before going into gear.
Ok bear with me as I don't know the terms for these parts. I went out and put the muffs on and used my hand to move the cable lever mechanism and reverse would engage. Using my hand I could move the cable assembly and the black notched part would move up enough that the small metal rod would move under the black notched part and reverse would engage.
I could engage forward with the throttle lever like normal, and the black notched part would move down enough to push the metal rod under it and forward would engage.
What exactly do I need to adjust to get the black notched part to move the top metal rod to engage reverse with the throttle?
Hope I explained that well enough.
Attached is a picture of what I'm working with.
