Hi,
I have just purchased my boat and outboard. On first run the throttle lever was acting as the gear lever and the gear lever was acting as the throttle lever.
We achieved about 5 knots!
Wworth bearing in mind that previous owner had never ran the boat.
I have reversed the cables as someone suggested at the linkage and the throttle is not working lovely with the engine getting up to good revs.
The prblem now is that the gears are not engaging in forward or reverse so the boat won't move.
There is some slack in the cable.
Doe sthe linkage just need to be adjusted to take up any slack?
Help would be appreciated.
