New to trying to fix boats so please bear with me - I have 4.3 motor with a OMC Cobra outboard Model# 985269 - 1st problem was I could never get the boat to plan - I could get it to about 2200 RPMS then it would just die. Was told micro switch was bad in the shifter lever so I replaced it - was told it was had to adjust but work with it on the water and I could get it that way - well I could not get it adjusted. Son took it to the lake so he could play with it and it turned into a disaster - seemed to work for awhile for him then he could not get it to move forward - only worked in reverse! not sure where to start any and all suggestions will be appreciated!!!
