I have an older 5hp Honda 4 cycle outboard (Blue case and pearl white cover).
The motor runs fine but occassionally leaves me high and dry when it doesn't go into gear.
I pull the gear lever forward or push into reverse and nothing (the shift lever moves but nothing at the prop).
I checked inside the rubber inspection cover, the bolt for the shifter is tight..
This problem is wierd because it can work correctly several times over a weekend and then be a real bear.....then start working again...
Any ideas?
Thanks
