Motor has been great! Starts 1st pull almost every time! Had my 1st problem yesterday. I left the boat in the water for 4 days. Went to start it and the rope wouldn't pull. Upon inspection, I found it was in forward gear. Okay....now the thrttle/shifter wont take it to nuetral. I took off the cowling and nothing suspicious there. I was able to shift to nuetral, but I had to assist the throttle/shifter by pushing up on the shifting lever. I assume the shifting rod is bent???? Maybe something wrong in the lower unit? HELP!
