I have a very good running Mercury 7.5. That is until I took it out of the garage to get it ready for fishing today. Started great, but wouldn't shift right. When it would go into forward gear, it would not throttle up beyond the start mode. Reverse was no problem. Also would not produce a water stream from the pump. Shut it down and dropped lower unit. Impeller was destroyed (New last year). Once the unit was loosened up, the shifter and throttle seemed to function properly. (Not running the engine) Then when I bolted the lower unit back up, it went back to the same throttle/shifting problems. Any ideas on this? Thanks.
