I have a problem since last year with my boat going into forward.
If i move the lever into forward at a normal rate it will rev high before going into gear and because of the high rpm it goes in with a clunk.
If I move the lever into forward position and wait maybe 30 seconds it will go into gear or if not i will move it a bit more forward and raise the revs by 100-200 rpm and then it will go into gear.
I think this is the cone clutch problem????
How can I check this
Thanks Colm

Could be the cone, could also be cable adjustment, worn cable, or the ramps worn out on the shift mechanism.
Disconnect the shift cable at the drive, and turn the shift mechanism by hand with the engine running to see if it goes into gear ok.
