Hi,
I have a 1995 Mariner.......It had the shiftier on the tiller handle from the factory. The motor was given to me 10 years ago. I just build a boat to put it on last month. So I started it and it runs great. Water pump was a little weak so I looked at it and replaced.
The problem is that it was not shifting into reverse. The rubber grip on the tiller handle would spin/slip in place, as if something was jamming it out of revers. So I controverted it to a lever shift system on the side of the motor thinking their was to many moving parts in the factory shifting set up.
After purchasing a conversion kit it does go into reverse, but it is very hard to move into revers and make a loud click noise as it goes into revers. The noise is not like gears grinding. Its just one click. After is get into reverse it great. Also going back into neutral and foreword it works great.
HELP PLEASE.....
