I just got a Yamaha outboard that had a broken throttle cable. The motor hasn't been used in at least 6 years. It is a 2004. I checked the water pump and found it needed a new one. Here is my question The shift rod goes into neutral position fine and I think it's reverse position all by hand but to shift it to forward it is so hard and at times it will not go in. when it is in forward position it feels like it is stuck. Could it be a bent shift rod? What other things would cause this.
