Hello everyone,

I have a little problem with the outboard motor Evinrude (motor number 115493) of my boat.
Last day i was cleaning the remote control and i put de lever into forward when de motor doesn't turn.
After the cleaning i try to start the motor and he doesn't start. I can put the lever into reverse to.

I measure than the contact points at the motor and there is voltage.
I try to start de motor with a booster, i put the + on the starter en de mass on a mass point. De motor works, but i think the gear is stuck. Forward is neutral RPM and the warm up lever is reverse.
The shiftcabels are good and in place. Its the first time in years that i have the problem.
Can someone help me?
I just ordered the repair manual.

Excuse me for the bad englisgh, i'm dutch/french speaking.

The motor has to be in neutral to start. Why you say yo were cleaning the remote were you washing it off or did you disassemble it?

i think my question is not detailed enough. When de lever is in neutral de boat don't start. I start the motor with a booster
directly on the motor and the motor starts en turn, than i put the lever to forward but the motor turn in neutral but more RPM. Reverse is blocked. The warm up lever is reverse.
I was cleaning the boat when the boat is in de water at my home. I just tell that maybe the move that i fit could be the cause of the problem.
