I have a 1995 Merc. 115 that was running perfect. I took it out yesterday and after navigating some shallow water in my flats boat and bumping into a few logs at idle, the engine was difficult to get into reverse. When I would place the shifter in the normal reverse position the gears would chatter like it was not engaging. It would engage by pushing the lever way beyond where it should be but it would "Pop" out of reverse. Forward works great. I drained and flushed the foot, the drain plug magnet held some shiny metal but there was no metal in the oil that could be detected by using a larger magnet. Do I need to replace the cable or adjust the old cable. How would you adjust the cable? I have a shop manual but it dose not address cable adjustment.
Thanks,
Justin
