I bought the boat('87 sea ray seville 3.0 alpha 1) 2 weeks ago. Have not put it in the water since owning, been sitting a year. Charged batteries, replaced fuel pump and starter. Put on the muffs and fired her up, checked forward and reverse, seemed to shift fine.
I pulled the l/u to do the impeller, after reinstall I have no reverse. I have read and reread the procedure for the install.
SS cw, prop ccw, bungee cord. I have had the l/u on/off 4 times and get the same result, no reverse. I gets close enough to reverse to hear clicking when spinning the prop but does not lock.
As a side note( which I feel should not have an affect since I did not change anything here) the SS in the upper when in forward is not completely straight front to back. Should it? It appears to be one hour off ccw(towards reverse).
At my wits end here guys, could really use the help with this one.
TIA, Steve
