1996 Bravo One on 1996 454 Magnum EFI in a Baja
- Remote shift cable from control to shift arm working properly
- Drive unit shift cable appears to be working OK on shift arm
- When starting motor, drive is already in reverse. When the shift lever is moved all the way forward or back the drive does not go into neutral or forward. Just stays in reverse. Can't even take out of gear.
- Suspecting that my drive shift cable is broken / disconnected.
- Any other way to troubleshoot / adjust / repair other than removing the stern drive?
- Should I inspect the cable in the bellows where it goes from the bell housing to outdrive? Or wouldn't it matter?
- Have read that removing the stern drive can be tough. Wondering if I should even attempt by myself with the help of a friend. Could a mechanic remove the stern drive and replace cable while boat is on a lift under a covered dock? Don't want to trailer. Any idea how many hours of labor this would involve?
Thanks
