So I'm new to owning a boat like this with that said I have recently purchased a 1992 seaswirl has a 4.3 cobra engine.
I had it out a few times and everything seemed to operate correctly altho it seemed stiff to shift from forward into neutral and reverse.
I was out yesterday and now she the boat is running in the water I cannot shift into neutral from forward .
It just doesn't go , things I have read and noticed :the rod are too high try are around 2000 reps and I believe I read they should be around 600
When I turn the engine off I can now put the controls back to neutral but once the boat was running I can only go forward. I have spent time scrolling thru post and it is quite overwhelming I must admit I could use some pointing in the right direction.
I did leave the back tarp off and had lots of water in the boat I read that could cause a problem.
Willing to learn just need a push .
Oh and also when it fist happened when I tried to go in reverse and the boat started accelerating?
