To make a long story short, I got taken on a recent boat buy with the listed motor. The owner and his wife told me that they had taken the boat out 2 weeks prior to my buying it and it ran fine. The motor does run fine, with good compression etc. The problem is, that it won't go into gear. The local marine repair shop said the shift shaft assembly is broken and they can't find the part for it to repair it. The wife and I saved for 2 years to buy a used boat and motor so we could fish out our retirement, and now we have a good boat with a bad motor.
So with all that being said, if anyone can help us we would be grateful. We are looking for part number 821483A5 shift shaft assembly for a 1996 Force 50 hp motor. We don't have the funds to buy another motor and truly are doing our best to find this part. The 50 and 40 hp 1996 and 1997 both share the same part.
Thank you for listening,
