"I just bought an 88 model boa
"I just bought an 88 model boat with OMC Cobra & 7.5l Ford. The boat has been sitting & now it doesn't go into reverse. I took the outdrive off & found that I could get it to go into fwd & rev with the help of a prybar & a lil turning of the prop. The shift lever feels extra tough to move up & down though. Is this resistance normal? If not normal, any ideas as to what might be causing it? Any chance it might just be sticky due to lack of use. BTW, the oil is at proper level & looks like new oil, so everything should be lubed right?"
