Hi All,
As fishing season is rolling around Im needing to do some work to the evinrude. The motor runs excellent and I love it. However I have no reverse. Was like this when purchased. Forward and neutral work flawlessly. However when trying to put it in reverse with the controls. it will only grind it will not go in. Now I can reach back there and shift it into reverse by hand and it works perfectly. I have messed with the shift linkage and can not get it to work. Which leads me to believe its in the shift rod. Any information on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
