I have an Evinrude 90 Model E90ELEOC, SN# G03959307, the engine is running fine, but will not engage going forward. The engine revs when I shift into the forward position but does not engage. The engine engages in Reverse without any problem. Looking for suggestions in troubleshooting this issue.<br /><br />Very difficult to move the gear shift to the forward position by the wheel. Any suggestions for easily removing the side panels to get access to the components connecting the cable between the gear shift and the engine. It is a Larson 1996 17 footer.<br /><br />Thanks
