" This one has me stumped...Took the boat out the day before and it ran great, took the family out the next day and the motor would not go in forward gear. Goes in reverse and neutral fine. I checked the cable and everything's ok there. I'm wondering if something slipped or if I am going to need to tear into the lower unit. The prop spins freely just like it's in neutral while in the forward position. Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated..... "

"Justin,

Check the lower shift rod. Sometimes corrosion builds up there and it becomes difficult to shift.
