I hAve a 1976 fifty sizzler on a hustler boat.
I just replace the cables and now it won't go into gear it revs up but won't go into gear. I took the cable lose and after playing it I manually got it to go into gear. I also noticeD a grease fitting above the shifter could that be part of the problem. Also boat shifted into gear before I changed the cables and looks like there going far enough to engage. I'm out of ideas and at the river now on a 5 day trout fishing vacation and my boat won't work so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
