hello all. i recently picked-up a 1987 Bass Tracker 17' w/ a 1987 Mercury Classic Fifty. Here is my problem: the Throttle Control will not lock into neutral. i can basically push it forward or reverse without pushing the button on the shifter. The neutral button engages, and i can rev it up/ it also shifts into forward and reverse...i just don't have to push the finger button to do so.
Is the a common problem? Is this a problem at all? I'm afraid i am going to shear something in my lower unit. if i accidentally go from forward or reverse with it locking into idle.
can anyone help me out with this problem? i am attaching a photo of the same throttle box that i own. Ehanks for any help you can give. ac.
