Okay, so some/most may consider this a ridiculous question, but I am new to boating, and this forum, and have a problem with my drive engaging.... IT WONT. It throttles up in neutral... 1982 Bayliner Capri.... When I try throttling it while not pulling out for neutral, it bogs, and then if I push the throttle far enough to hit the actual throttle cable, it revs... probably too much, but regardless... it doesn't even make a noise to engage. I looked at the throttle lever assembly, and it appears that there should be another cable that is not there. I'm not sure, so that's why I'm asking, but are there supposed to be 2 or 3 cables for the throttle lever? My guess is that there needs to be one to engage the outdrive separate from the 2 throttle cables, one for fwd, one for reverse??? Either way, fwd, or reverse, the drive does not engage.
Can someone enlighten me... then if my suspicions are right, where the heck does the drive cable attach to? Is there any diagrams that someone can help me out with?
I have attached a pic of the outdrive and engine to see if anyone can help.
Thanks,
Chris
