GET IN GEAR!!!

[catfishchris]

ON MY 77' 55HP EVINRUDE I CAN'T GET IT TO GO IN REVERSE BEFORE IT THROTTLES UP TO HIGH. IT STARTED DOING IT WHILE TRYING TO GO IN FOWARD WHILE RUNNING TROTLINES AT THE RIVER THE OTHER NIGHT WHICH IS REALLY FRUSTRATING. I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE SHEARED A PIN BUT A RUSTED CABLE SEEMS MORE LIKELY.ANY ONE ELSE HAD THIS PROB...?? LET ME KNOW.

You can perform a visual under the cowling on the lingage while shifting control to see if the shift rod is getting movement.just have someone turn the prop a little while shifting.
