I have a Volvo Penta 4.3 liter I/O that is stuck in reverse. We turned the boat off once and when we started it next time and put the throttle in the foward position the boat went in reverse and when you put the throttle in reverse position it goes in reverse and when its in neutral the prop still turns in reverse. The prop also wont spin in the forward direction even when the boat is off when i tried to spin it with my hands. What should i do to fix this?
Thanks

What drive model do you have? Volvo has many different types over the years.

Did you check the shift mechanism on the drive to see if it moves when you shift gears? Could be a broken cable.
