I recently purchased a boat and am having problems with the command center for the motor. The first problem is that I cannot shift it into reverse on the controls. I started to take it apart to see if it was getting hung up on something but decided to try and find out why it might be doing that first. The second problem is that the key wont start the motor. I can "hot wire" it on with the key turned on in the ignition, and that is how I turn it off as well. But when I turn the key all the way to turn it on, I don't get anything. I am thinking that the two problems might be related, but I'm new to boating mechanics and wanted to ask around first.

Thanks for any input.
