Hi, I am stuck in reverse. Heard a clunk - may have been after I slammed it into farward while still moving backward :facepalm:, but clunk may have actually happened before or after that - and now I come to think of it there were a few clunks over the weekend... Got into forward, ran ok, then after I put it into reverse later it stayed in reverse. Was pretty dangerous because I actually shut off the engine at one point, when I re-started it I was still reverse and I ended up nearly running over daughters boyfriend , then hitting another boat when I gassed it to go farward but it was actually stuck in reverse!
I have removed the gearcase and no matter what I do with the long shift rod it stays in reverse.
I suspect something in the gears and /or internal shifter mechanism is now custard, but I am not sure how to get all that gear (no pun intended) out .
Advice / guidance please.
