Re: force outboard no reverse

BEAT HIM!!!!There's no way he hurt anything.Try to unhook the shift cable at the motor.
While it's off!!! Shift by hand and try to engage the prop.Turn it both ways.
It should lock in one direction maybe both.
No lock then the lower might need work.Drain the oil and check for metal/water.
Profile?You might be close to someone who can help.J
