Hi Dennyps

Hey Alcan, wow thanks! I'll be your first mate any time. Just out of curiosity, how did you know and find out? Thanks again, Denny

Dennyps,

I just bought my first boat with the exact same engine. Do you have the push button tranny controls? There is something wrong with mine. It won't seem to shift out of forward.
