On my 40 merc, the connector on the shifter at the front of the engine had come loose. It is some type of snap connector that has disappeared. When mine sticks in forward, I pop the cowling and reattach the shifter and it's good to fo go for another 2 months. One day I'll fix it proper. But wont be today.

Good luck to you,
Norm
