I have searched and searched posts I have an 88 1950 capri with a omc cobra 5.0 My problem is I took my boat to a mechanic to get a new keeper on my cable jacket. Told I need the new cable as the plastic part comes on the shift cable. Had him replace the cable and do an adjustment as the drive was recently rebuilt. I picked up the boat and it shifts into forward nad reverse ok but will not throttle in reverse. He says its my control. I took the shift cable off the control and the control throttles in both directions. I now have a swilling itching brain and am asking the forum for insight. I dont think this is the guy to work on my boat so not looking to bring it to him. Maybe a refund if he messed up.
