when I have the boat hooked up on the water hose I can get it to go in forward and revers. last Saturday when I put it in the water and backed out of the dock. I realized I could not shift it to forward nor get it in neutral. I nearly hit the dock do to I couldn't get it to move out of reverse. once I finally got it to SLAM into forward I couldn't get it to move out of forward to neutral. the slamming in forward was sheer panic. I know better than to do that I should have shut the boat off. with that being said that is exactly what I had to do to finish my "water test" if you will. first time I had it in the water. I removed the lower shift cable form the engine and when I had to change direction or put in neutral I had to shut the boat off, select neutral, start engine, then select desired direction, those steps where done every time to put in neutral and shift gears. also the "tube" that the lower shift cable runs in with the bellows on it. I noticed there was water inside the hose but it was not leaking anywhere. is this normal and what in the world is wrong with my shifting. any help would be great.
