First start Good morning everyone
i got a mercury70 the guy that sold it to me said to be a 86 sin # starts with 719****
bought it two days ago. now i put it on the boat, head out to the docks get the boat in water, start de boat , i m heading toward the shore got no neutral, so hit it in reverse the boat fly onto land WHAT THE HELL ... try to contact the guy that sold me the outboard to my luck no anwser , so now what to do try to get neutral with cable unattached but prop is stuck in foward can t get it to spin freely or lock both ways.
from what i ve been reading it could be just the shift shaft that could be hooked up wrong can this be fixed without taking the lower unit off , i see the shift shaft in between the head and lower unit it turns but where ever postion a try it in the prop stays in engaged,
if it not the shift shaft what else should i be looking at ?
also is it pretty hard the remove lower end what should i be careful with ?
been into boat for 3 weeks now , pretty new at this but i am mecanical incline
