Hi,<br />I have a 1993 Force 50 with remotes. When putting the engine into gear it goes with quite a bang and the boat leaps forward or back . I do the change quickly as per the manual but it does seem a bit fierce. How much of a bang or scrunch should it make? I have looked at the forums but can't find anything specific to this. I realise the linkage probably needs adjustment but would still like to know how smooth the action should be. Thanks.

Might want to try the force forum, im sure you will find help there........<br /><br />How many rpm's are you turning when you shift, maybe your idle is too high. I know that engines I have used act in the way you described when they are shifted while running too many rpms.
