1997 Glastron, Volvo-Penta 5.7 GS PKLD with SX C1 Outdrive. Took the boat out for the first time. Runs like a champ. Only issue is that shifting from gear (either Forward or Reverse) into neutral is very stiff. I can drop from neutral into gear (either direction, forward of reverse) with ease. It's just that coming out of gear is stiff. The boat only has 125 hours on it (according to the Hour Meter).
Any ideas as to where I need to start looking? I should also mention that the throttle control also has an issue. You do not need to pull up the red lever under the handle to put it into gear. I believe the gear lock-out is broken, as a firm push on the handle will drop the lever forward or back dropping the outdrive into gear without ever pulling up on the handle. We will be checking into the hand controls next weekend, but I would like to find out if there is anything I should be looking for. Thanks in advance guys!!!
