My inlaws have a 2002 Oddysey Pontoon boat with a 2002 5Ohp Johnson Outboard. Recently after taking the boat out in the intercoastal and upon returning to the dock the engine became stuck in forward.
I am experienced in I/O repairs and understand outboard basics but I would appreciate a quick diagnostic checklist of what items need to be invesitgated to determine what the cause of the problem is.
I am taking an educated guess that it will be the shift cable and that will be the first thing I look at when I go to help figure out the problem but if it is not the shift cable can someone give me an idea of other items to look at to diagnois the problem.
Thanks.
