I have a 1985 35hp evinrude I got done servicing my engine, i replaced the impeller, and cleaned the carb out. When i was all done, i was shifting the throttle and when i tried to come back into neutral from forward, it would not go. I removed the linkage to discover it looks like the cable is broken. I am pretty sure that is the case, but i want to be sure before i spend money for a new one.



The engine shifts through all the gears using the shift lever on the side of the motor, so that has me thinking it's the cable. I cannot get the remote back into neutral either which makes me think the cable snapped and is stuck inside the rubber casing.

Thanks for your help!

well the one in the picture is the cable is obviously broken. i just had a controller do that, and the plastic gears, inside when bad.
