I have here a 1966 Larson 16 foot with a 1976 Mercury triple 2 stroke 65 horsepower. My problem i have no reverse and no neutral. At the control , it feels fine but when in neutral the boat still idles forward and when in revese the boat goes foward. Any suggestions?

Either the cam has jumped in control box or lower unit was reinstalled and shift rod missed....
