I have a 198? Force 50 that I bought used last year. The motor fires right up and runs great, but I am having a problem with the control box and cable hook up i.e I'm not sure how to adjust or hook it up correctly. Today I tried it for the first time and found that I had no reverse. In Reverse, I went forward, and in forward I went forward. In neutral it was neutral, but it would rev uncontollably sometimes when I touched the throttle. The previous owner assured me it ran great when I bought it. I am guessing that it is hooked up wrong. My control box has "US MARINE" on it. Any help would be great.
