Remove the shift cover and see if the shift cable is moving the shift mechanism. |

Some shifter boxes had a nice neutral throttle hidden as a button or you just pulled the handle out of the box about 1/2 inch. See if you have left it in neutral throttle. Or as El says maybe the cable is broke or disconnected. That cover has a long bolt on the bottom and 1/2 a wing nut on the top, so don't but just loosen the top and it will swing off from the bottom-- also the cable is held on (anchored) to the front of the gear box by a 2" ss plate and 2 bolts. Inside is the brass threaded fastener and cotter key.
edit; ya we listened to the "lone ranger" staring at the red tubes too!! |

I have a 270d leg and I have just noticed a little bit of play when I move the leg back and forth. The play is in the pivot pin and bushing on the protective helmet. I have never noticed it before is this normal or should I change the pin and bushing before putting the boat back in the water |

Volvo was famous for "wandering" at Idle thru the marinas- just counter steer. |
