Hello 2001 Maxum 2300sc 5.0 mercruiser alpha one drive.
I have a problem shifting into neutral from either forward or reverse. The drive/prop is still being driven, the handle feels like it is in neutral and I can shut off the motor and restart with no problems. it seems like if I "pop" or "smack" the handle it will actually go into neutral. This was a real problem when docking and maneuvering, actualy became a problem today combined with wind and waves while wifey was bringing the boat to the trailer.
I think the adjustment should be at the engine side not the handle side since the engine is still really powering the prop. Advice requested
Thanks Again.
Larry
