I CAN PUT IT IN GEAR WITH A LIGHT TOUCH BY HAND AND STILL GET NEUTRAL/REVERSE WITH CONTROLS. I TOOK CABLE LOOSE AND IT DOESN'T SEEM BROKEN BUT CANNOT GET IT TO PULL IT IN TO FOWARD GEAR WITH ADJUSTMENTS. THIS WENT OUT SUDDENLY.

"You say that you can get neutral and reverse by hand (I assume you mean directly at the engine shift linkage), but you don't say that you can get forward by hand. If you can, then something has gone wrong within the control box assy. If you can not get forward at the engine shift linkage, then a problem exists within the lower unit.

" THE GEARS SHIFT AT THE ENGIN

" THE GEARS SHIFT AT THE ENGINE WITH NO PROBLEM BY HAND AS I TURN THE PROP WITH MY FOOT, BOTH IN FORWARD AND REVERSE. WHAT DO I LOOK FOR IN THE CONTROL BOX? I HAVE ALREADY OPENED IT ONE TIME AND ALL I SAW WAS FITTINGS BOLTING UP THE LINKAGE. IS THERE ANY WAY TO ADJUST HERE? WHAT DO I LOOK FOR? "
