Default 77 evinrude will not shift into forward

goes into reversed good but doesn't quit go into forward, if the cable is off then it will go into gear, I have ajusted the cable but, when it is to tight the control arm gears jump out of place therefor i have to take it a part and reset it, it seems like the control arm or cable does not pull it far enough to engage the gears

jery Cable or Control is defective. More than likely, it's a worn cable. Free the cable at the control and the motor. See if it slides in it's housing easily. If it binds, replace it.
