Hoping someone can help me since my local service techs have a 2 week turn around time. I am still under warranty I know. Went to start my outboard 2 days ago and the cowling/motor jerked to the side...no problem pulling the cord and it was in neutral. Normally before I go to start the outboard, I shift it into forward, neutral, reverse, then back to neutral to make sure I am in neutral. I couldn't get the shifter to go into reverse. I opened up the cowling & I can see the little white plastic piece that moves when I move the shifter. After about an hour I got it to go into reverse. Started up engine in neutral and it ran fine the rest of the day. Yesterday I had the same problem again. Then when I finally got it started again, almost full throttle had no power and eventually died. Any thoughts? Thanks!
